Cattail (E); Anea (S); Enea (C); Espadaxa (C); Junco (C); Junco de estera (C); Junco de Pasion (C) . Young roots serve as a vegetable; older roots may be ground to a flour. Stem bases are edible boiled or roasted. The cores of young shoots are edible raw. The pollen is used as flour. The pollen, mixed with water and salt, or ashes, is baked. The cores of flower spikes are edible raw or cooked. The seeds are edible roasted. The rhizomes are a favorite food of rodents. The interior pithy part may be eaten raw or boiled and may be ground up to form a flour. The leaves are used for floor mats, basketry, and caulking. The down from the female spikes is used for stuffing pillows, and the hairs on the seeds are an effective styptic.
