These majestic plants make a lovely backdrop in the flower garden and a bold statement in flower arrangements. A major crop of the Aztecs, beige seeds follow the dramatic, burgundy plumes in about 105 days, very high in protein and other nutrients. Cook like rice for a side dish or pop like popcorn. Leave the seeds on and watch the birds flock to your yard. Very young leaves are delectable for salads and steaming.
