#blowflygrass

[seedkeeping]

Rattlesnake Grass (Briza maxima) quakes and shakes and rattles in the wind - singing grass songs in various Mediterranean dialects and languages. You can eat the seeds and leaves if you really want to. The first can be hulled and ground, the second, while very fibrous, can chewed for nutritious juices and then spit out. #brizamaxima #rattlesnakegrass #bigquakinggrass #blowflygrass #quakinggrass #roughwoodseedcollection #seedsaving #seedkeeping #poaceae (at Devon, Pennsylvania)

Wendy and Graham with the last of the season's #blowflygrass at today's' #wildfood workshop. The rain did not scare us and it actually held off for the walk. Yay :) #briza #edible #weed #learning (at Cooks River Bike Track)
