Yarrow has also been used as a food, and was very popular as a vegetable in the seventeenth century.
The younger leaves are said to be a pleasant leaf vegetable when cooked as spinach, or in a soup.
Yarrow is sweet with a slight bitter taste.
The leaves can also be dried and used as a herb in cooking.

I've also read that yarrow is fine to feed to torts. Willowherbs, I believe, aren't safe. The sedum (ice plant) is fine but mine aren't fussed tbh!
