If any negative effect results, it is advised to induce vomiting and drink a high quantity of water. [1] Additionally, old or improperly stored specimens can cause food poisoning. Other lists of edible seeds, mushrooms, flowers, nuts, vegetable oils and leaves may partially overlap with this one.
In home gardens, for example, the seeds of plants which are otherwise difficult to grow from seed may be made viable through scarification. The thawing and freezing of water, fire and smoke and chemical reactions in nature are what allow seeds to germinate but the process can be sped up by using the various methods described thus far.
This provides essential goods and services to humans such as global carbon sinks, water purification systems, fresh water reserves as well as biodiversity and peat resources. This is achieved through nutrient acquisition from dominant plants under nutrient-stressed conditions. [4]
Nimbin can be quantified in neem using advanced mass spectrometry [15] or HPLC techniques. [16] The concentration of this chemical in the plant (among other chemicals) can be impacted by various factors such as the different parts of the tree in which they can be found or tree age. [15] Nimbin can be found in neem leaves, seeds and bark.
