why dont we find “wild” vegetables?

1.93K viewsOther

When hiking or going through a park you don’t see wild vegetables such as head of lettuce or zucchini? Or potatoes?

Also never hear of survival situations where they find potatoes or veggies that they lived on? (I know you have to eat a lot of vegetables to get some actual nutrients but it has got to be better then nothing)

Edit: thank you for the replies, I’m not an outdoors person, if you couldn’t tell lol. I was viewing the domesticated veggies but now it makes sense. And now I’m afraid of carrots.

You might not recognize the wild varieties, but there are wild edible plants. Some of them have mutated cousins that we farm. Also vegetables aren’t low in nutrients, but they aren’t generally protein or calorie rich
