松鼠和鸟可以吃

No, Southern magnolia seeds are not edible for humans and are considered mildly poisonous. While animals like birds and squirrels eat them, they are a high-energy food source for wildlife and should be avoided by people. 

 

Why you shouldn't eat them

• Toxicity: Southern magnolia seeds can be mildly poisonous if ingested by humans. 
   
• For wildlife: The seeds are a high-fat, high-energy food source for a variety of wildlife, including birds and squirrels. 
   
• Confusion with edible parts: Some resources may confuse the seeds with other edible parts of certain magnolia species, such as the flowers, which are sometimes pickled or used as a spice. The seeds and seedpods themselves are not safe for human consumption.
