Edible Parts: Leaves Seed Edible Uses: Edible uses & rating: Leaves historically boiled (Hopi), seeds used in scarcity years. Edibility rating: 1/5. Taste & processing notes: Leaves intensely acrid; require multiple water changes; foam persists; flavor remains poor. Seeds are salty/woody/acrid. Season/harvest: Desert; summer bloom, autumn seed [2-3]. Young leaves - raw or cooked as a spinach substitute[5, 85, 95, 153, 183]. A fairly bland flavour, a few leaves of stronger-flavoured plants can be added to enhance the taste. Seed - ground and mixed with cornmeal or used to thicken soups etc. Small and very fiddly to harvest and use. References More on Edible Uses
