Description
Anche se le spine possono sembrare fastidiose, le foglie giovani, gli steli e le radici della pianta sono commestibili se preparati con cura. Tradizionalmente, in diverse culture venivano consumati come verdura o in insalata. Le radici venivano persino utilizzate come sostituto del caffè o come rimedio nella medicina popolare.
L'acanzio predilige le posizioni soleggiate e tollera bene i terreni aridi e poveri di sostanze nutritive. È estremamente poco esigente e può diffondersi facilmente per autosemina, quindi è necessaria un po' di attenzione per controllarne la diffusione in giardino.

Info fehlerhaft
die Aussage mit dem Kaltkeimer bei Onopodium im ganzen Netz verbreitet stimmt nicht. Meine selbstgeernteten Samen keimten in einem Glas mit feuchtem Sand bei Zimmertemperatur völlig gleichmäßig nach schon 3 Tagen, konnte sie schon pikieren, Maik Bieber-K.
