Edible Uses

Leaves - raw or cooked. A acid, flavour, it is especially adored by children and makes an excellent addition to mixed salads. The leaves can be harvested all year round. A mass of the leaves and stems can be allowed to ferment slightly when they make a tasty dessert. A sort of rhubarb pie can be made from the leaf stalks. The leaf stalks are very thin - you would need an awful lot for a pie. Use in moderation, see notes above on toxicity. Flowers - raw. A pleasant acid flavour.
