"Seeds - cooked. Be careful, consult the toxicity information at the top of the page. Flowers - cooked. After thorough washing, they are cooked or processed into fritters. The flowers are sometimes candied in sugar and mixed with flour to create a local delicacy called 'Teng Lo.' The leaves contain allantoin and can be used as a coffee substitute. The young leaves are also edible."
