This plant can be used as a potherb, in salad, and as a coffee substitute. Young leaves can be picked in early spring before the plant has flowered to add to salads, it can also be used in replace of spinach.
Nettles cooked into a soup or chopped finely and served as a potherb are excellent dishes and are both starting to show up in major restaurants like Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California.
The swollen edible beet root can be either rounded or tapered and is red, yellow or white. The leaves sprout as a rosette above ground are delicious used in salads when young, or cooked as a potherb.
