why dont we find “wild” vegetables?

1.66K 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 see wild vegetables every time you look outside.

Lettuce is just leaves. Have you ever seen leaves in the wild?

Zucchinis is actually a fruit, and I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of fruits in the wild.

Potatoes are roots. Grab any plant and dig it up. Tada, you’ve found a root vegetable.

The vegetables you eat are not wild, they are domesticated. They have been specially cultivated over thousands of years to look the way they do. You don’t see them in the wild for the same reason you don’t see domesticated cows or chickens in the wild.
