Field Pepperweed
Lepidium campestre
|
What can you say about pepperweed other than the seeds can be ground up and taste peppery. I suppose the seeds of every plant in the world have been ground up at some time to see how they taste, and the pepperweed's seeds were the most like peppercorns (
Piper nigrum - Piperaceae).
Pepperweed has the shape of a bottlebrush. To distinguish it from other bottlebrush-looking plants, look closely at the pods and leaves. The leaves clasp the stem.
