Mallow comes up in the spring and provides greens for both salads and cooked vegetable dishes. 

    We often pickle the little flowerbuds, called "cheesewheels," in raw apple cider vinegar.  Kept
refrigerated, these pickles last several weeks.

These pages are intended to be an aid to learning about wild edibles -- but cannot substitute for the essential training one needs to get from a knowledgeable guide.

The ONLY "thumbrule" worth knowing:
Know your plants! 
"When in doubt, do without!"
