Leaves - raw or cooked as a vegetable. The young leaves are harvested before the plant flowers and are used in salads, soups, and so on. They can also be used as a vegetable, cooked like spinach. The leaves are best cooked. Flowers and seed pods are dried, ground into powder, and used as flour or sprinkled over cooked dishes like boiled rice. Very nutritious and healthy. The young flowers can also be used in salads. Root - cooked. The dried leaves give a vanilla flavor to cakes, and so on. Dried flowering heads are a tea substitute.
