Common Mallow

 

Common mallow (Malva neglecta) can be used like Marshmallow, one of my favorite plants. The leaves are an edible salad green and tea herb, and the flowers are a sweet and bland-tasting garnish as well. The roots produce a epithelial tissue-healing mucilage that can be harvested by soaking the roots in cold water.
