What is a young shoot?
 

Is a young shoot the same as a sprout?
I was reading that the young shoots of plants are edible and wanted to
know what a shoot was before I eat the wrong part. :)

AFAIK yes. Or maybe a stage or two beyond that.

A more important point is that *not all* young shoots are edible.

"A more important point is that *not all* young shoots are edible."

Yes, good point. The plants I am considering, according to my source,
all have edible young shoots.
So, they should be sproutable(?)

Anyone know if there is a master list somewhere that contains what is
and what is not sproutable?
I know toms are not.
I cant find anything but the same common sproutables.
Mung beans and alfalfa and so on.
