Usages
In former times it was often collected as wild vegetable because of its starchy rhizomes and roots and for its leaves (e.g. in Hungary), probably used since the antiquity. In the 19th and early 20th cent. it was cultivated for some time as a vegetable in France and used like Crambe maritima. Recently it was recommended once more for cultivation in the former Soviet Union. In the last decades some further species of this section were recommended for cultivation, e.g. C. steveniana Rupr. (in Mém. Acad. Sci. Pétersburg sér. 7, 15, 2, 1869, 136), C. koktebelica (Junge) Busch (in Kusn., Busch & Fomin, Fl. Cauc. crit. 3, 4, 1908, 294) and C. orientalis L. (Sp. Pl., 1753, 671, s. J., incl. C. juncea M. Bieb., 1819 et C. amabilis Butk. & Majl., 1962) as forage and vegetable plants in Middle Asian regions of the CIS. Cultivation has still an experimental status, one cultivar of C. steveniana has been already released for the Crimea.
