                                While many familiar vegetables like snap peas and okra are examples of edible seed pods, a significant number of other plant pods can be highly toxic and dangerous if consumed. A good rule of thumb is never to eat a wild seed pod unless you are 100% certain of its identification and edibility. This guide will help you understand the difference between safe and poisonous varieties and provide critical safety precautions for foraging.
