These mallows (unsure of exact species, I’m thinking it’s Malva multiflora, does anyone know?) are growing like literal weeds in an ally way near my house. From what I’ve researched, majority of Mallow sp. leaves are edible, along with the young “cheese wheel” seed pods.
My question is, are the mature dried seeds edible? Can they be eaten like a grain? There’s hundreds of seed pods on these plants, and it would be an awesome alternative grain or flour source.
I have Turks Cap which is a mallow and the deer love it so I bet you would too.
