Yes. I have a vague recollection that it grows like a weed in a
Greenland spring and was eaten as a vegetable. But importantly,
Angelica Archangelica is the herb Angelica. Be careful when buying it
at a plant nursery because there is another related medicinal - Angelica
sinensis (Chinese Angelica) which is often sold to.
