But don't let this list limit you. The ultimate moral here is most food scrap seeds and fresh cuttings can be planted or cloned. In hindsight, I feel like that should be an obvious statement, but it's really not in the modern day. It kind of blew my mind how much of the stuff you buy at the grocery store can be planted for fun and profit when I first started to get into gardening.
And just FYI, cloning plants is far more difficult with some plant species than internet articles describing how to clone them make out. Most internet articles act like you can clone anything if you just put a cutting in a cup of water. In practice, only some types of plants actually clone that way reliably. You kind of have to develop a technique for each. Biggest universal principle I've learned is that the area you want to take root should be kept in the dark as much as possible. That usually means putting some kind of collar (e.g. peat moss or rockwool) around the stem and putting it in an opaque and covered container with water so only the top half of the plant with the leaves gets light.
Grocery store stuff I've grown plants from:
-
Pinto beans – Grown from a bag of dried Goya pinto beans. Just plant the beans like you would from a seed packet. They sprouted in a few days. I assume it would work with other varieties of bean, but pinto are the only ones I’ve tried.
-
Basil – Can be cloned from fresh herb cuttings bought in the produce aisle. Clones quite easily in just a glass of water. I’ve had roots pop in a literally just two days with rooting hormone added (a virtually unlimited supply can be bought for about $5 on the internet), though it tends to vary a lot based on the quality of the cutting.
-
Peppers – Seeds inside fresh peppers generally sprout as easily as garden store seeds. You might have less luck with green bell peppers and jalapenos since they’re picked when not ripe though. I’ve successfully grown habaneros, cherry peppers, sweet peppers, and long finger peppers from grocery store seeds.
-
Mint – Can be cloned from cuttings. Try to use the less woody stems, as they’ll be more likely to root. I found mint moderately difficult to clone. I took 5 cuttings. 2 rooted, but only 1 survived. Once you have a healthy plant, it’s easy to transfer it to another container by burying the runners in the new container.
-
Rosemary – Can be cloned from cuttings. Rosemary is pretty difficult to clone. I took 10 cuttings and only 1 survived. It took about 1-2 m
Here's my list :D It's been updated with a few things-
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14xhTEvWgkB3hYyS8LD--4t2htwayrUWtWtRKAgDkeo4/edit?usp=sharing
I'm looking for sorrel (preferably the french variety), purslane, chrysanthemum and heat tolerate cilantro alternatives (such as papalo and culantro but if you have any suggestions, I'm open to it!) , vietnamese coriander, lemongrass and lovage! I'm open to any culinary herbs or veggies that can grow in partial shade as well.
Smoking seeded cannabis is a huge pain but I’d like to still use the plant. Will the seeds fuck it up? Or should an oil extraction still be okay?

If others would be interested and if the sub grows, input would be needed and I will compile separate lists of vendors and items(Dry, Concentrates, Edibles, etc)
I tried to google it, but it's always a "top x" top 10,20,39 types of edible ones. I want a list and pictures of all.
If i end up in a forest i don't want to starve kind of guide.
Bonus points if you have something like that on plants and weeds, been wanting to look into that as well.
He's really pistachio
I searched and found a lot about storing vegetable seeds but not much about edible seeds.
We are at the tail end of a pantry moth problem and are looking to vastly improve our seed storage. For example, sunflower seeds. I spoke to the local feed and seed shop and they recommended an airtight container with a bird mite item they sell for pet birds. They said, "We assume it's safe since you can put it in a bird cage."
Also, we would like to access the seed container at will. So no vacuum packing.
For those with experience, what are the best practices? Thanks!
I want to purchase indigofera tinctoria seeds from the US or elswhere, its a dye manufacturing plant. It would be a small quantity and for personal use only. Thanks!
According to the Wikipedia article on Brachychiton acerifolius:
>The seeds of Brachychiton species are edible - Indigenous Australians ate them either raw or roasted, after removing the irritating hairs that surround them in the pod. They are nutritious, containing 18% protein and 25% fat with high levels of zinc and magnesium. They also ate the roots of young trees.[9][11]
Considering how common the Illawarra flame tree is, why hasn't it become commercialised as bush tucker?:
- Unlike Macadamias:
- Cultivated Illawarra flame trees aren't derived from a small gene pool
- Illawarra flame trees aren't highly vulnerable to root rot or phosphorus overdose
- The seed pods don't require immense pressure to crack
- Unlike Bunya nuts:
- Illawarra flame trees don't take decades to grow
- Their seeds aren't contained in dangerous falling cones
- It is easy to propagate and grow Illawarra flame trees
Considering that all it needs is roasting to make the seeds edible, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. After all, cashew nuts need to be roasted to become edible too.
