Default RE: Question about pokeweed/berry

For almost every poisonous plant, it seems there is something that has adapted to being able to consume it. For humans, only the very young leaf shoots are edible. The young leaves can be eaten after cooking them using two changes of water and is still used to make Pole Salat in some places. I would not dare to try it unless I were starving.
