If you want to see garden food phylogeny tree, I made this a few years ago in D3 and NCBI data using ETE3 (in Pyodide) http://observablehq.com/@thadk/garden

I'm not a biologist but here's a thread of things I noticed following it clockwise: https://mastodon.cloud/@thadk/109971022004345501

You know, I never considered that almost all plants we eat are angiosperms (flowering plants, monocots + dicots).

I immediately went looking for exceptions and found a few:

- fiddlehead ferns

- pine nuts

- juniper berries

- gingko nuts

- nori (red algae), kombu (brown algae), and kaipen (green algae)

But, almost everything else, is an angiosperm.
