Summary
[edit]DescriptionProboscidea parviflora - double claw. sauteed fresh green fruit with onions 06.jpg |
English: Proboscidea parviflora - A very important traditional indigenous edible and useful plant of the southwest United States. When green the distinctive curve of this fruit earned the name 'unicorn' plant, but when dry the fruits split along the spine to form a double hook, known as the 'double claw' or 'devil's claws' that easily catch on anything brushing past to disperse the seeds. (Not to be confused with the African 'devil's claw' of a completely different species and different use.) Proboscidea parviflora, 'double claw' fruits when picked young and tender green can be cooked like okra or pickled. Older, larger fruits are allowed to dry. The dried seeds are edible and highly nutritious, and can be eaten dry, crushed for oil or ground into flour. The long, dried curved seed pods have for centuries been collected for their strong fibers used in south-western U.S. traditional Native basketry. Cuisine: Here shown a side dish of fresh tender green double claws sautéed in olive oil with onion, salt and pepper. Very easy and similar in handling to cooking sautéed okra and can be substituted in many well-known okra recipes. |
