i would have guessed that "wood" is too strongly defined by all of its indigestible structural shit like lignin to the point that "wood" and "edible" are mutually exclusive, but apparently this one tree just happens to... not use lignin for some reason? pretty neat
Yeah no cellulose at all basically makes the bark taste like a nutty semi sweet tofu
i'm mostly just surprised that it's still considered "wood" at that point instead of some other kind of plant part
Taxonomy is a hell of a drug
I mean what else would it be? It's vascular tissue from a tree, it's a type of papaya tree.
i only know enough to get myself in trouble
that sounds awesome what the fuck
