Althaea officinalis (marsh-mallow) (cause flower power)

The flowers and young leaves can be eaten, and are often added to salads or are boiled and fried

boil the roots, get extract, add eggs and rose water amd blam the original marshmellow

When boiled first and fried with onions and butter, the roots are said to form a palatable dish, and in times of scarcity consequent upon the failure of the crops, this plant, which grows in great abundance, is collected heavily as a foodstuff

Horace mentions it in reference to his own diet, which he describes as very simple: Me pascunt olivae, me cichorea levesque malvae ("As for me, olives, endives, and mallows provide sustenance")

Fascinating! Will consider.

it is called "marsh" mellow, it does grow in swamps and swamp like biomes,
sadly its not abundant, and you need some serious detection to see them.
