Dock (a weed in many yards that is both edible and medicinal)

The leaves are cooked like greens

The root can be boiled or roasted

The seeds can be ground into flour

The whole plant, especially the root, can be used to treat liver disease.

@Yeshuasdaughter oh that widespread and easily harvested Dock

Ok, I'll go with Echinacea. It can be made into tea, so counts as food. And I have in my yard Just small patch but it will spread, in 3rd year.

You can take the root after the flowers die back. Gently pull the plant out using a garden fork. The root wil be a massive ball with lots of rhizomes sticking out at all angles. Cut off half of the root rhyzomes, and replant it. It won't kill the plant.

Make sure to keep the above ground parts of the plant intact as much as possible, while you are harvesting.

Fireweed

The flowers make the most fragrant teas and jellys:

The leaves are quite tasty, and can be stir fried

Although it's not a cure in itself, the whole plant can be used medicinally in the treatment of prostate cancer, to reduce inflammation, shrink tumors, and reduce pain.

I don't know this plant. Is it related to elderberry?
