Not always. Raw ginger burns and tastes like shyte but it’s good for you. If you don’t get sick or your mouth is on fire they might be ok. I wouldn’t eat a bunch until I inched up to one. There’s a type of apple or it resembles an apple which grows wild. It tastes ok but if you eat one you’re crapping like a goose for a few days. About the size of a golf ball. Not the common crab apple. I will try to find a snappy. So taste isn’t a perfect test.
