If it's natural and not processed, I just assume it's good and eat it.
Don't assume that with plants. Nothing really wants to be eaten. Animals can fight or run. Plants are good chemists. 50%of all poisons are from plants. Fruits are more likely to be okay but still a risk. Leafs and seeds are where the danger can really occure
Not only that but every green nowadays is not natural so to say, the tomatoes of today do not look even close to 100 or 500 years ago.
Humans have crossbred plants quite a lot trying to make them more efficient. Bigger, resilient to diseases etc but most of them are just a pack of water and fiber which is useless for us, not nutricient at all.
Even if they got some nutrients the absorbability rate is very small compared to eating meat where our body can fully absorb without any issue.
One of the ways to verify this is simple, vegans visit the WC quite often and its not a pleasant experience. Carnivores on the other hand neither do they go to the WC so often nor do they have any issues whatsoever.
That's because the limited amount of nutrients that can be found in plants (when doing a lab experiment) are mostly locked up in the fiber, which humans cannot digest. Plus, plants have anti-nutrients which block the absorption of nutrients, even if we could get at them.
The "plant-based diet" is the #1 reason for health problems in the world today.
