While minari (Oenanthe javanica) is edible and widely consumed, other plants in the genus, such as O. crocata, contain potent neurotoxins. Expert identification is needed for wild harvesting because of similar appearances among carrot-family plants. For this reason, consumption is generally considered safer when the plant is obtained from cultivated sources rather than foraged in the wild.
