Blue flower spikes are tall and vibrant. The plant is a traditional food crop of the Chumash people indigenous to Southern California, as well as for the Tarahumara people of Mexico. Still used for long-distance running by the Tarahumarans, it is said that if the seed is mixed with water to make a gel, one tablespoon can sustain a person's energy level for 24 hours. Sow in early spring in a sunny spot in rows 2 feet apart. In Mexico, the seeds are roasted, ground, and added to water, forming a gel.
