May I suggest the book, Poisonous Plants of the United States by W. C. Muenscher, Macmillan Publishing? You'll be interested to find that certain delicacies have inedible parts or seasons. Also, that beet and turnip greens store toxic levels of potassium nitrate if grown in soils too rich in it. Warning: the book's main subject is livestock rather than primate poisoning. Sukie Crandall
