Five-minute families - Fabaceae

These are my favorite videos on youtube. SO helpful, thank you.

You're welcome and I'm glad they're useful.

great video just wish the sound of the video was louder but overall great digestible info :)

If there's one plant family that has planet-saving potential it's the Fabaceae! (Of course we should plant whole forests everywhere, with lots and lots of relationships between many species. But when it comes to feeding ourselves AND our soils, Fabaceae are superstars!)

God bless you for this channel your knowledge is incredible. I've been using UK wild flowers to help me identify the families. I'm slowly getting there. This is all a leading towards achieving my survival diet, which as of yesterday after watching a channel 4 cocoa documentary now includes ethics into the eqausion. I no longer consume the families that cannot be found in the UK. I think people need to wake up and learn to eat more locally and seasonally. There are so many reasons why, like unethical trading for 3rd world countries, polution caused for the food to get here, forced ripening, GMO just to name a few. For my health I can't determine in my mind whether to consume this family because of gut issues. I think it's ok for me if the legume is soaked or fermented and well cooked to remove the lectins but i'm really at a loss. As for the nightshade family (Solanaceae) i'm also at a loss because like this family there are so many toxic varieties. The only wild member I believe that is edible of that family is a type of goji berry (Lycium barbarum) but it generally goes if there are so many other toxic varities within that family even the non toxic will cause some sort of gut issue unless it is preppared correctly. Then again the creator did say sweating and labour would be required to get our food! So I guess if that individual species is safe without toxins especially after preperation then it's safe. There are also many variaties in the (Apiaceae) family that are toxic but also many that are edible that require no preperation at all. Then I ask the question why is mandkind even catogorizing plants into families? do they all derive from 1 clade? and for whatever reason some became toxic and some didn't? I don't know if I can believe this evolution unless someone can re educate me? as I would really like to know what actually makes all these plants botanically related enough for us to put them into families?
