I m in Florida this morning and found a patch of Bidens alba we could pick and eat for breakfast The plant is easy to identify with its daisy-like flowers and prickly seed heads The taste of Bidens is rich and green It tastes like it s good for you but not in a bad way Both leaves and flowers are edible raw or cooked and have an amazing capacity for healing Astringent anti- inflammatory and anti-infective this plant can heal any number of irritations and infections externally and internally
