Justice Kavanaugh, getting a little bored just sitting around doing nothing on the Supreme Court? Decided if you're going to be shoving things in your butt anyways you might as well film it and put it on YouTube?
The fruit of this tree are edible raw or cooked. Although if eaten raw, the skin must be scored for some time in order to release a copious latex.
The wood of the yacaratiá tree is served as a delicacy in Argentinian restaurants. The wood is soaked in honey or syrup and is also available in chocolate bonbons or in flavored jams with sawdust. The wood is soft and fibrous and the taste has been compared to chestnuts.
Reminds me of that YouTuber that keeps turning wood into ice cream.
The next paragraph adds the explanation, why its wood is edible:
Although most wood is indigestible to humans due to the high lignin content, the yacaratiá tree is only around 10% cellulose while the rest is mostly water with very little lignin content. Unlike most plants, cells of this tree contain large spaces within their walls which store water.
It is in the Caricaceae (Papaya family) and apparently a pioneer species just like papaya trees. No wonder it is mostly water and hardly any lignin!
Not a chance they can make a restaurant like this in Argentina. They are one of the most reluctant people to try different foods.
Also I'm double sceptical since the same article says it grows in tropical forests in Nicaragua etc, and Argentina has a single smallish area that could be called tropical forest, and that would be a stretch.
I totally agree, you can't get most Argentines to eat anything different from milanesas, pasta and asado. Drinks too, you get hundreds if not thousands of different soft drinks and juices in other countries, here its just cola, fanta and sprite kind of beverages.
And I never heard of wood being served in restaurants.

Wait until OP finds out about cinnamon
Any wood is edible if you puverize it...
Wait till they learn about Kraft Parmesan “cheese”. We call it sawdust at dinner.
Cellulose (a filler) is sawdust and found in the ingredients of the above item.
Yup! that’s where the nickname came from.
I call it the same, was giving an explanation for people unfamiliar with it.

NileRed, I assume?
Isn't that another? I remember a Youtuber who made living rat neurons play DOOM. He also made meat leaves, btw. And socks from milk.
That's the Thought Emporium
This YouTuber was the one I had in mind but NileRed is another great one.

Lignan deez nuts!

Persimmons are like 40% lignin by weight. They are the largest cause of phytobezoars.

Really? I'm surprised.
Or the "How Much Sawdust Can You Put In A Rice Crispy?" video where they loosely tested how many percent of a rice crispy could be replaced by sawdust.
what youtuber
Related: videos about how much sawdust you can put into rice Krispies before it's noticeable.
Spoiler: it's like 30% by volume. Pretty wild.
I think MatPatt did the same thing with christmas cookies lol
that's just like... a theory man...
William osman, i love it.
I used to eat the shells on sun flower seeds. That's basically wood and it was indeed edible.
Umm ew, David

I still eat the shells on sunflower seeds. I would just buy them de-shelled if I didn't want to eat them.
I mean all wood is edible for the most part. It’s also in a lot food!
Cellulose! It’s used to keep your shredded cheese from sticking together.
Just chewing on a twig of oak or fir isn’t gonna kill you.
Edible, Non-Toxic, and Food form a Venn diagram.
Be careful with that advice. Yew is highly toxic.

I watched a video from a guy who just goes into the forest to find ways to eat the trees. He really passionate about it.
You found a termite
Link?
https://youtu.be/oYr3dGznsGw I found it
Found this Spanish language article about it. Sounds like a single company has developed the process to make it edible in 1999.

In that case let me tell you about the edible spider...

In that case let me tell you about a song about eating a spider...
Anything that can be eaten without causing harm is edible. The question is if it's also digestible.
