Cosmos in scientific language or the people around where I live (West Java and surrounding areas) call it kenikir, raja ulam. The shoots of kenikir leaves in certain areas are used as fresh vegetables, either eaten raw or boiled first. The shoots of kenikir leaves can also be used as a pecel mixture.

Kenikir (Cosmos) is a herbaceous plant that is easy to cultivate by planting old and dry seeds. Usually the kenikir seeds that have dried fall by themselves from the stalk and grow into new plants.
Kenikir has beautiful purple flowers. Even though the flowers are small, they are beautiful enough to enjoy. Because of the beauty of the flowers and the benefits of the leaves, this plant is widely planted in home gardens as an ornamental plant and consumption plant. Here are some kenikir flowers that I shared in this post. Hope it is useful.
Bbu pecelnya mana.??
Oh Bu guru, semoga sehat selalu 🥰🥰
