- Cover photo description:
- Celosia is the generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek word kḗleos, meaning `burning and refers to the flame-like flower heads, Species are commonly known as woolflowers. The plant is an annual. argentea or Lagos spinach a.k.a. quail grass, Soko, Celosia, feather cockscomb is a broadleaf annual leaf vegetable.It is traditional fare in the countries of Central and West Africa, and is one of the leading leafy green vegetables in Nigeria, where it is known as ‘soko yokoto’, In Spain it is known as `Rooster comb` because of its appearance.These leaves, young stems and young inflorescences are used for stew, as they soften up readily in cooking. The leaves also have a soft texture and a mild spinach-like taste. They are also pepped up with such things as hot pepper, garlic, fresh lime, and red palm oil and eaten as a side dish.Despite its African origin a claim that is not without dispute, celosia is known as a foodstuff in Indonesia and India. Moreover, in the future it might become more widely eaten, especially in the hot and malnourished regions of the equatorial zone. In that regard, it has already been hailed as the often-wished-for vegetable that “grows like a weed without demanding all the tender loving care that other vegetables seem to needâ€Â says Martin Price of Florida. He continues `“Every place I have tried it, it grows with no work. We have had no disease problems and very little insect damage.
