Things you Probably Didn't Know are Edible - a list by kryz

Options for This Page

About this list:

There are some weird things out there that you can actually eat, if need be. I wouldn't recommend trying many of them, but it's nice to know they exist in case of emergency.

Qualifications:

I ate a whole biodegradable spoon once for a dare.

Biodegradable Packing Peanuts

Description

Biodegradable packing peanuts are made solely of corn starch and are pure carbs. You can eat these. Why you'd want to, I don't know.

I don't leave home without a tube of Burt's Bee. The tingle tells me it's working. Hey sometimes you need that tingle.

Stinging Nettle

First to recommend

Description

Yes, stinging nettle, that scary spiky purple flower that causes nasty blisters and a rash, is edible if cooked. I've eaten stinging nettle ravioli and survived so I can attest to this.

Play-Doh

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

At my old office I kept a huge box of Play-doh and associated toys. We would break it out for mandatory play time where people were free to create what they wanted and keep it on their desk to show off. I found it helpful to have when when the people I worked with were going through a stressful time. They would take a chunk and squeeze it like a stress ball as they talked. The kit was a great use of time when the power went out and we couldn't get any work done. Instead, a group of us broke out the box and brainstormed ideas for the client while creating play-doh goodies.

White Rabbit Candy

Description

You probably knew this one, but if you're not familiar with White Rabbit candy, the inside wrapper is one of those edible rice paper ones. Not the outside one though, so don't make that mistake.

Edible Easter Grass 1-Ounce Bags

First to recommend

Description

This Easter grass is edible. Well it's actually made to be biodegradable, but since it's biodegradable, if you so desired you could eat it. I guess that's a plus if you have a pet that tends to eat everything.

Edible - SCORPIONS

First to recommend

Description

The website gives serving ideas for these uncooked scorpions, but really I'm just amazed you can eat whole scorpions. (They're "detoxified" so I guess that makes sense.)
