Are pitcher plants' fluid edible?
It is primarily water, which has had dead flies in it. Not good.

Reply:It is not edible, it consists of all digestive enzymes.. Do you think thats edible..?
Reply:In an old National Geographic, there's a photo of an orang-utan drinking from a pitcher plant.





I wouldn't want to. You know that insects are drowning in that, and you wouldn't want to drink days-old decaying insects, would you?
Reply:standing water =bacteria disco.. not sure if the pitcher plants' is sterile.... still it has some bugs in.
Reply:The water in the pitcher plants contains digestive enzymes. When bugs fall in, the tiny hairs on the inside of the pitcher part of the plant do not allow the bug to climb out. It falls into the water and the digestive enzymes then digest the bug.





Why would you want to drink bug juice?
