No that is not it the ones I have seen pictures of have a pinkish red flower on it and leaves they use it in salads or some of the back to the land or off grid  types do. I saw a show today about the Rainey family on discovery channel and one of the ladies had prepared a complete dinner from things gathered from their 40 acers  in Alaska and I must say it really looked good but then you need to know what to pick and what is good to eat which I am not.
