An overwhelming majority of what we eat is made from plants and animals. This means that composition of our almost entire food is chemicals from the realm of organic chemistry (carbon-based large molecules). Water and salt are two prominent examples of non-organic foodstuffs - which come from the realm of inorganic chemistry. Beside some medicines is there any more non-organic foods? Can we eat rocks, salts, metals, oxides… and I just don’t know that?

Calcium carbonate, is the main ingredient in tums, and is the main component of limestone.
But limes are organic, so shouldn’t limestone also count as organic?
Baking soda is also an inorganic compound.
