[Wikipedia] Toxicity, Native American Medicinal & Culinary Uses: Like other Astragalus species, A. canadensis is somewhat toxic, but it has been used medicinally by Native American groups such as the Blackfoot and Lakota people, particularly the roots. The roots were eaten raw or boiled, and used in broth. The roots were usually gathered in spring and fall. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
