<human>:  How can I identify if a plant is edible?
<bot>: First, you should research the plant in question to see if it is known to be edible. If you cannot find any information online, then speak to an expert such as a botanist or a local horticulturalist to help identify whether or not the plant is edible. Additionally, you might want to consider testing a small portion of the plant to see if it is safe to consume. Be sure to do this carefully, as some plants may be poisonous.
