苘qǐng or qiǒng

我已经很多年没说过这个字了，上次说这个字应该是20年前的事了。
I haven't said used the character "苘“ for years, It's about 20 years ago since the last time I said it.

我甚至不知道这个字的存在，翻字典看到这个字的时候着实惊了一下。
I was shocked when I saw it in the dictionary. I don't didn't even know it even existed in the dictionary. When I saw it in the dictionary, I was quite stunned.  Shock 太过嚴重了

字典上写着，草本植物，茎皮纤维可以制绳索。
It's said The entry says that 苘 is a herb in which its stem skin fiber can be used to make ropes.

我把百度查出来的图片发给朋友，朋友说籽可以吃，味道一般。我想起来我好像也吃过籽。
when I sent the a picture of 苘 from Baidu to my friend, who she told me she ate the seeds are edible but which tasted so-so general. I think maybe I may have eaten it before.
