Japanese: 食用植物 - しょくようしょくぶつ(英語表記)edible plant
Edible plants - edible plants
Plants that humans eat. Humans eat not only plant-based foods but also animal-based foods, and if we follow the food chain, animals also eat plants at their base. However, edible plants here refer to plants that humans eat directly. The carbohydrates, proteins, oils and fats, minerals, vitamins, etc. contained in edible plants are essential sources of nutrition for forming and maintaining the human body. It is said that there are more than 10,000 species of edible plants in the world, and all parts of the plant are edible, including seeds, fruits, flowers, young shoots, leaves, stems, and underground parts.

Japanese:
人間が食用とする植物。人間の食物には,植物性食物のほかに動物性食物があり,食物連鎖をたどってゆくと動物もその基は植物を食用としている。しかし,ここで述べる食用植物とは,人間が直接食用とする植物を指す。 食用植物の含む炭水化物,タンパク質,油脂,ミネラル,ビタミンなどは,人間の体を構成し維持するための不可欠の栄養源となっている。世界で食用とされている植物は1万種以上あるといわれ,種子,果実,花,若芽,葉や茎,地下部など植物のあらゆる部分が食用とされている。
