Well, once you really start learning about lots of healthy natural foods, you'll start to recognize these more. Waxgourd is a large melon that tastes great in smoothies with a bit of pepper and honey. Or you can turn it into a tasty soup, as done in chinese cuisine. Nopales are a bit more present in mexican cooking, you know those big spiky plate like plants. Many of the other plants on there sometimes grow freely in your backyard: like dandelion, dock, purslane. Some people use derogatory references such as "weeds" to refer to them but it's highly innaccurate. these plants are some of the most nutritious things you can eat, you just need to know how to cook them and how to adjust your taste buds to all the great foods humans used to eat on a regular basis. I've been on a journey to understand all the natural foods found in nature, and it's quite a learning process as we've been so conditioned (in the wrong direction) by industry on what food is. There's over 80,000 edible plant species in the world. I only know a few of them. But, I hope to get to know more of them over time.
