However, this tender plant has much more in store than just looking beautiful. It has been long known as a very nutritious wild vegetable and medicinal plant. All parts of the plant can be used in the kitchen.
- The fresh leaves can be used fresh as a salad or boiled as a leaf vegetable. When cooking, the leaves tend to slime, which is why the leaves of the roundleaf mallow are also often used for thickening soups.
- The blossoms can beautify the plate as edible decoration.
- The unripe seeds have a slightly nutty taste and can be snacked like nuts.
- In times of distress, the fruits were also used in the kitchen. They smell and taste of cheese and can be ground into flour.
- A stock cooked from the roots last but not least serves as a protein substitute.
