Default Vegetable Mallow


Had no idea what to expect when I ordered this from Sandhill, but their description sounded so wonderful: "A tender mallow used as a cooked green leaf vegetable (like spinach). A favorite of Thomas Jeffereson. Very nutritious. Early and easy. Looks like an upright weed."
So I tried it, but can't get over all those pokey hairs that make my mouth and throat itch. Somehow finding it hard to believe this was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson.
Does anyone else grow or eat this?
