Harvest the young leaves to eat raw in salads or cook lightly into stir fries. Harvest the fresh flowers for bouquets, and harvest the blooms for dried flowers when the seed has begun to set and the flowers feel firm. Gorgeous in dried flower wreaths. The seeds can be harvested for edible high protein grain. Traditionally the seeds were popped for eating. The entire plant makes a beautiful burgundy red natural dye.
