Tiger nuts, "one of the absolute worst weeds in the world," want to be your new health food.

At NPR, "Loathed By Farmers, Loved By Ancients: The Strange History Of Tiger Nuts."

They are awesome. Although I like the peeled better than the unpeeled, the unpeeled seems to be a bit sweeter when chewed. Just don't like the peel. Almost like eating a sunflower seed with shell.

Tiger nut horchata is very tasty.

Saute them with garlic mustard and serve with Asian Carp.

It's good to know what is edible in your lawn. That's for certain.

Not funny! Sedge invaded my lawn next to the driveway, presumably picked up on our tires, and it is a bugger to get rid of. As in, it is spreading faster than I can kill it with sprays. Pulling it out by the roots seems only to help its spread.

@Meade, any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated.

Damn, I missed it by about 2-n-a-half hours.

With all there is to eat in the world, why would you eat this shit unless you had to.
