Good point. This made me look further, but some of these also are just the seeds:
Bamboo
Bluegrass
Crabgrass
Foxtail Grass
Goosegrass
Lemongrass
Wood Millet
Orchardgrass

Bamboo shoots are a common ingredient.

Plants are selected to *not* be great to eat, basically. Cellulose in particular is almost impossible to biochemically break back down (but not completely), and is a pretty good structural material, too. Seeds are often still palatable once you get through the shell, basically because turning into a baby plant is an already tough design constraint. Some plants still have tricks - notice that it's the spiciest part of a hot pepper.
