[Wikipedia] Zuni Food Source: Among the Zuni people, the young plants boiled alone or with meat and used for food.[1][2] The ground seeds are mixed with corn meal and salt, made into a stiff batter, formed into balls and steamed.[3] The seeds are to be considered among the most important food plants when the Zuni reached this world.[4] (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
