Notes

Seed - cooked. It is used as a piñole[1][2]. The seed can be parched, ground into a powder and used as a mush[3]. Young leaves and stems - cooked[4][5][6][2]. A cabbage-like flavour, they can be quite bitter at first but changing the water once or more whilst cooking removes the bitterness[3][7]. Used in the spring[8]. Changing the water also removes many of the vitamins and minerals[K].

Hardy to about -20°c[12]. Grows well at Kew in a warm sunny well-drained border[K]. There is some confusion over the correct name of this plant, 2 different spellings having been used. Whilst it is possible that these are 2 different plants, it is more likely that the name used at the top of this form is the correct one, whilst the name in the synonyms list is a mis-spelling[161, K].

The plant is often found growing in soils rich in selenium and is a fairly good indicator that selenium is present[10].
