The Texas bullnettle seeds are edible and very tasty. They are best raw. The seed shell can be broken by biting it, much as with a Sunflower seed. The contents of the seed are white. The seeds themself are grey and white spotted. The roots of mature plants are large and carrot shaped, up to 3 to 4 inches in diameter. These are a favorite food of pigs. Pigs will root out and kill an infection of bullnettle, eating the roots.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.209.246.7 (talk) 01:14, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
