Parietaria hespera | Pellitory | Edible Uses

View photos of the edible plant Parietaria hespera (Pellitory), profiled in Sonoran Desert Food Plants.

A passage from Sonoran Desert Food Plants:

The whole plant is edible. It’s a little hairy, but nevertheless, makes a nice addition to salads, or it is simply eaten when encountered. Its taste is distinctly cucumber–like.
