In the Baltic states and Russia, freshly grown stems (before the leaves unfold) are laid out to dry in the sun. Sweet, white crystals then form on these stems. The 15-20 cm long, young stems can be eaten and taste like a combination of sweet cucumber, coconut, and mandarins. Older stems can be eaten peeled. When peeling, gloves should be worn to prevent skin irritation. The large, aromatic flower buds can be used raw in salads from May to August.
