Maybe the native warrigal greens, but I haven't tried. Pig


Oops. Just read that warrigal greens *must* be cooked before eating, to
remove their oxalic acid and another nasty.


fwiw i eat it raw sometimes & i'm not dead.

being a spinach-like thing (rather than a lettuce-like thing, for rod's
information) it tends to go better cooked, in cooked things, though. raw
it's sort of weirdly brittle & not so nice. the baby leaves are better raw,
the bigger ones are a bit ick.
