▶ "Celosia is a small genus of edible and ornamental plants in the amaranth family, Amaranthaceae. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek word κήλεος (kḗleos), meaning "burning," and refers to the flame-like flower heads. Species are commonly known as woolflowers, or, if the flower heads are crested by fasciation, cockscombs (as in a rooster's crest). The plants are well known in East Africa’s highlands and are used under their Swahili name, mfungu.

Celosia argentea var. argentea or Lagos spinach is a broadleaf annual leaf vegetable. It grows widespread across Mexico, where it is known as "Velvet flower", northern South America, tropical Africa, the West Indies, South, East and Southeast Asia where it is grown as a native or naturalized wildflower, and is cultivated as a nutritious leafy green vegetable. It is traditional fare in the countries of Central and West Africa.

These leaves, young stems and young inflorescences are used for stew, as they soften up readily in cooking. The leaves also have a soft texture and a mild spinach-like taste. As a grain, Cockscomb is a pseudo-cereal, not a true cereal."

It’s called “Fresh Air,” and it’s the first event associated with the South Sound Collective — a local group of DJs, promoters, artists and musicians who’ve banded together to, well, put on kick-ass events. Along with Pacific Fusion Productions, the South Sound Collective brought “Fresh Air” to The Robert Daniel Gallery Saturday, Jan. 31, 2009, in downtown Tacoma.
