Nanakusa: the seven edible wild herbs of spring
* Seri [water dropwort/Japanese parsley]

* Hahakogusa [cudweed]
* Hakobe [chickweed]
* Konitabirako [nipple wort]
* Suzuna [a species of turnip]

The seven herbs, or nanakusa, are traditionally eaten on the 7th day of the first month of the new year (7th January) as part of a long-standing Japanese custom dating back to the 8th century.
The herbs are consumed for their health benefits and promote wellbeing, longevity, nourishmentand vitality.
Ancient belief holds that the herbs remove evil from the body and prevent illness.
