A little on Daisies.

Typo in main page heading: "flower heads cosisting"

Lettuce page, radicchio section, the link to Treviso is broken.

Green globe artichoke: I'm guessing "18 count" means 18 per pound?

Scotch thistle, this line is confusing: "While today it is grown mainly as a decorative and for medicinal properties, in times past the receptacles (flower bases), which can get up to 2 inches across, were eaten similar to how artichokes are eaten today." I'd change the second and third commas to dashes.

Salsify - black: typo - "you can was the latex off"

Dahlia - "It's obvious from it's name, D. coccinea, The red dahlia is one used for culinary tubers." Stray capital T. Also, why is it obvious from the name?

Heading of herbs page: "use the search engine" Link to it?

Common chinchweed, stray word "it": "In Mexico the herb it is sold"

Southern wormwood: I'd link "strewing herb" to the Wikipedia page. I'd never heard of it.

Cosmos: "blood circulation toner" WTF is that? Or rather, what do they think they mean by it?

Fuki, missing capital: "the back side"

Nipplewort, period should be comma: "in Medieval times. derived from"

And done.

After reviewing more than a couple thousand plant species in Asteraceae, this is the few that I've found to be edible. Not a whole lot, but some are quite important. The Daisy Family.

Post #391,749 by Andrew Grygus 7/9/14 5:46:14 PM Reply	What that means is . . . . . that I haven't yet found any chicory roots - or a photo that doesn't have unacceptable copyright restrictions.
Post #391,760 by a6l6e6x 7/9/14 11:45:38 PM Reply	OK. So, Whole Foods doesn't carry the roots? You certainly do a bang up job photographing other foods.
