EDIT: Yes, you can. But you can't digest it. The only edible parts of a tree are some specific types of tree bark. Thanks, everyone!
[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 14 points 3 years ago Wood has no nutritional value to humans, but a few things come close: The center of banana tree trunks are cooked and eaten, and a common parts of some asian dishes, but they aren't really "wood". The inner part of tree bark is digestible by humans, but it is not classified as "wood" either. permalink fedilink source
