Medicinal Trees You Walk Past Every Day

Every child has imagined living at Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, I’m sure you have too. You might not realize it, but you live in a world similar to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

Aside from buildings and concrete, nearly everything you walk by is edible in some way. Plants, trees, ground cover, animals, the flowing water, and even rocks can be edible. Unlike the Chocolate Factory, these edible things are either healthy or deadly, and often medicinal.

If you look into it, many of the trees you walk by can be eaten. Depending on the tree, you could walk right up to it and take a bite. Other trees have both poisonous and medicinal properties; only certain parts can be used and require specific harvesting techniques and procedures.

The next time you’re outside, keep an eye out for these trees; you might even have the opportunity to harvest specific parts of these trees for your own purpose.
