Re: Which part of the echinacea plant can be eaten

Hunter,


Echinacea is not toxic but I would not consider it a food plant and would not 
advise eating it. Its use is medicinal and all parts of the plants are used. The 
dried root has been widely used by either ingesting it in powdered form or by 
drinking a decoction. Some people swear by this plant and others say that it 
is hype. (see 
Joe Paxton's answer)
