I mean, sure, those are all grasses, but no one is really eating the grass part of them besides bamboo shoots. Unless they’re doing something more specific like ethnic or cultural food, the average person isn’t gonna be eating the leaves of these.
Sure you can gnaw on sugar cane. I can see corn husks being eaten in some dishes. lemon grass I don’t really know about beside being used to add flavor in stuff like grilling.
I mean you aren’t eating the stem of an apple tree or the bones of a cow either.
The bones are for soup
Jest, gelatin is the bones.
So are many soup stocks
Gummy worms have more bones than real worms.
sure, but they also don’t call eating an apple “eating trees”. it would still be fair to call applewood based products “beaver food” or “cardboard” if someone told you to eat it.
bananas are also a grass
edit: nope, im wrong
At least both Musaceae (Bananas) and Poaceae (Grasses) are both monocots. But that’s where their taxonomic proximity ends. They are not even in the same order (Zingiberales vs Poales)…
your username is fitting
Bananas are a berry, palms are kinda a grass, and large swath of grains are grasses.
What kind of fruit a plant develops is something entirely different to what a grass is though. And these are all taxonomically different groups (palms, bananas and grasses).
What?
Palms trees are technically grass, AFAIK.
I figured this out in florida because targeted yard “weed spray” kills them, too.
Your plain wrong. Poaceae does not contain muss.
Touche. Seems the common clade is commelinids?
A palm is not a grass.
True.
Aren’t they a berry?
Your plain wrong. Poaceae does not contain muss.
Weed is grass? Asking for a friend
Patrick is correct he just doesn’t realize how correct he is
It’s all grasses, lilies or watercabbage.
I mean… what if they would create gut bacteria that enables us to eat literal green grass and leaves? I’d like that with my leaf Wellington.
Then you’d spend 20 hours a day chewing grass, i guess
Have you ever tried grass or not-bred-for-eating-leaves? I think they taste awful.
Yes we vegans eat all those various types of grass.
And non-vegans
