Common Mallow – Nutritious WEED. ( weed means easy to grow, and doesn’t require fertilizer or much water)
My rabbits, tortises, guinea pigs, and chickens love mallow.
When growing in nitrogen-rich soil, however, nitrates can accumulate in the plant’s tissues, making it toxic to some animals
Malva neglecta Wallr. (Malva rotundifolia auct. non L.)Malvaceae (Mallow family)

Weedy Characteristics: Common mallow develops a deep, thick taproot, which allows it to survive harsh conditions— including frigid temperatures and dry soil— and regenerate when necessary. It reproduces by seed, and though mallow seeds have a low germination rate, they can remain viable in the soil for decades.
Malva neglecta
From Wikipedia:
Malva neglecta is also known as Common mallow in the United States and also buttonweed, cheeseplant, cheeseweed, dwarf mallow and roundleaf mallow.[2] Although often considered a weed, this plant is often consumed as a food.[3][4][5] This is especially true of the seeds, which contain 21% protein and 15.2% fat.[6] The plant is an invasive in the United States.

Wonderful auction. I have three recipes for marshmallows made from Marshmallow roots, Common Mallow flower seed pods and Marshmallow roots made into a powder. You know, common mallow is related to the okra family.

There family trait is to omit a slime when cooked. Be sure to watch the videos before attempting to make marshmallows using mallow plants. It'll be easy once you prepare everything ahead of time. The gal in the video "LivingTheHedgeWitchLife" is on Youtube. She makes great video's. Cheers.
