Can I feed these to my torts?

[turtletania]

I went to my local vegie market and after years of wondering, decided to take the camera and get pics of the "green stuff"..... so if you know any of these please let me know if they are safe for my torts...
They are all eaten by people here so I know they are not toxic, but are they safe for torts???

Wow. You have some interesting plants there in Borneo. I don't know anything about a single one of them. Can you ask the vendor the names, then GOOGLE it with "oxalates??" or "oxalic acid" after the name.

Yvonne,..... can you explain the "oxalates" or "oxalic acid" too me? I am not familiar with this...... is it good? bad? Thx.

I just went through the pics of plant identification.... this one>>

Mimosa or silk tree - edible, except for seeds:

>> is it the plant that closes when touched? Cos we have that everywhere here.... looks the same.
