American hogpeanut Amphicarpaea bracteata is one of those wildflowers you might not notice if you weren’t look for it. This member of the pea family has an edible root and apparently edible seed pods. The Pawnee are said to have collected and eaten the tiny beans found in the seed pod. The Omaha were observed collecting the nut-like tuber from the stores of field mice who had put them away for the winter. The root was also recorded as a possible treatment for diarrhea in tea.
