Growth of potatoes. Potatoes: delicious. Potato growy parts: toxic.

Citrus fruits.

Insides: Delicious. Outside: Delicious. White rindy part in between? Highly not-delicious.

Fugu liver. The toxin will paralyze you and you'll asphyxiate while conscious. Fugu sashimi though...apparently it's quite good.

But that's not something you shouldn't eat. In fact, the white stuff is often where the majority of the vitamins are found.

I have basically 3 food rules that I live by:

1. Never eat yellow snow

2. Stay away from blue food. There are no naturally occuring blue foods in nature. (Don't tell me blueberries, I consider them to be purple)

3. Don't eat the mold in/on cheese unless it is cultivated to be there, like blue cheese or brie rind

There are probably more, but those are the three big ones for me.

Yeah, but it think that bleu cheese mold is more green than blue. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

a lot of people will tell you that the peel of an orange has way more of the vitamins, and they'd be right. But it's not in the pith (white part), it's in the outer zest where most of the citrus oils and goodness are anyway.

slap_j: I'm not willing to try fugu, simply because even in Japan where that's eaten a lot more frequently than here in the U.S. some 60+ people a year die from it, no thanks.

don't eat the pits from stone fruits like peaches, apricots, etc. since they contain things like arsenic or cyanide.

I actually read an article recently claiming that the pith has anti-cancer stuff in it.

I've been informed by a couple health nuts that the pith has plenty of vitamins as well as the "anti-cancer stuff" thesteve mentioned.

The can beer comes in. No matter how good the beer is, the can is not going to follow suit.

Sunflower seed shells. It might SEEM like you can chew them up and eat them after you have shelled the seeds out. But you can't, and you will cough for hours.

I thought about putting bottle/can... But I am currently poor and thus my beer is coming from cans these days.

Come to find out you're not supposed to eat edamame shells, Found that one out the hard way after chewing on some for a long time.
