This post is about Gleditsia triacanthos or
Honey Locust. I have read on PFAF.com that "The plant contains potentially toxic compounds"
does anyone know what this means? are the potential toxins accumulative, harmless in small concentrations, rendered inert from cooking, or cancerogenic?
And if these
trees contain toxins were would they be in the plant.
I have eaten the cooked beans with no I'll effect in large concentrations.
I understand that
black locust Robinia pseudoacacia can be toxic and am not concerned about it in this conversation. If anyone could find chemical identities
of the potentially toxic compounds that would be helpful as well.
Thank you all.
