FYI:
In the Netherlands, Belgium and probably in many more countries, we have a problem with PFAS in our environment.
A research in backyard chicken eggs around a factory that produces PFAS showed an alarming amount of PFAS in the eggs (published last September). The message: don't eat eggs from BYC near the factory. They researched a wider area and found PFAS in other backyard too who where further away from the factory they could not explain.

The NOS (our national news) has had eggs from hobby chickens examined at 12 locations in Friesland, Utrecht and Limburg. PFAS was found at six locations, and at three (Bloelenslaan, Maartensdijk and Smakt) the concentrations were higher than the EU limit value. The PFAS turned out not to come from the Chemours company in Dordrecht. It is not known where the PFAS comes from. The substance may have spread through the air, but may also be in the food.
As is known, PFAS is also found in pesticides. In 2022, pesticides containing PFAS were found several times in the Rhine and the Meuse. These involved concentrations above the drinking water standard. Scientists recommend limiting the consumption of eggs from hobby chickens. That advice certainly applies to children.
It would be interesting to have a similar table for common grasses and weeds.I came across this open access article this morning which followers of this thread might find interesting:

I was thinking the exact same thing.It would be interesting to have a similar table for common grasses and weeds.
I've been working on gathering the data for such a thing for quite a while now. There is really very little pertinent work done as yet, that I can find at any rate.It would be interesting to have a similar table for common grasses and weeds.
This is for European beech leaves but doesn't specify whether it is for young leaves.I've been working on gathering the data for such a thing for quite a while now. There is really very little pertinent work done as yet, that I can find at any rate.
However, I did recently discover that fresh young beech leaves ... no nutritional data though. Google throws up lots about beech nuts, nothing much about leaves.
