The Ground Plum, a legume, bears beautiful, bright purple flowers! Young seed pods are edible and the taste is reminiscent of snow peas! Native Americans and pioneers used these seed pods as a vegetable, and they may be eaten raw, cooked, or pickled. Dried roots were ground and applied to wounds to stop blood flow. Grows in meadows and prairies and is also recommended for home landscaping!
