You can eat tumbleweeds??? Who knew?<<<

The Indians knew.

I think one of the names is Russian Thistle and I could be wrong, so it may be known in Russia too.

As I recall from other articles read over the years, you eat the young shoots, LOL, No the one you catch as it blows by is not edible....

May taste like asparagus, several weeds do.
