Used in cooking in both Korea and Japan, plus in eastern medicine.
Out walking by Four Mile Run last weekend, we came upon three elderly Asian ladies who were collecting the most tender shoots of these plants in bags, cutting them close to the ground with little scissors.

What plant is this? Why did they collect them? Are they edible? Is it medicinal?
