The Dwarf Mallow

"Malva neglecta" is also known as Common mallow in the United States and also buttonweed, cheeseplant, cheeseweed, dwarf mallow and roundleaf mallow. Although often considered a weed, this plant is reportedly consumed as a food. This is especially true of the seeds, which contain 21% protein and 15.2% fat.
