luckypeach: We were walking around the Union Square Greenmarket the other day and came across something we had never seen before: wasong, or rock pine. You can’t tell from the photo, but some of these things were huge—around the size of a forearm. Turns out it’s a Korean plant (the family behind Lani’s, the stand where we found it, is Korean). I tried it and didn’t quite get the appeal—it was so sharply citrus-y and vegetal that it tasted like a crunchy form of intense, unsweetened green juice—but they say to use it like purslane, or to dry it and make it into tea. -- source link
