Ellendra, you know so much about plants! I didn’t realize that we had something similar that would grow in North America.
Have you been able to use your seeds in cooking?
Some, but it was in a soup with a lot of stronger flavors, so I can’t say much about the taste. I have several pounds threshed out that I need to winnow, and even more hanging to dry. If my days off coincide with the right weather conditions, I should be able to get more winnowed soon.
If you pick it while the hulls are still soft and green, you could probably cook them right in the hulls. The entire plant is edible.
