Young leaves of this plant can be eaten both raw and cooked. They have a strong anise-like aroma and are often used as a seasoning in salads. Some people find the leaves a bit too coarse and strong for use in salads, but they can also be used to make tea due to their pleasant flavor. The seeds of the plant may be edible, but no specific details about them are known. Although the seeds are not toxic, they are very small, making them difficult to use.
