Can humans eat grass?

Question

Can a human eat grass and digest it? Could it be possible to use it as food just like other plants such as wheat or beans?

Answer 1

Common grass has a very low nutritional value. It is edible, but the same way how animals have to eat 100+ pounds of it when grazing, we would have to eat an extremely high amount of it to effectively survive.

Some grass also contain a lot of cellulose, which makes it hard to chew and digest.
