Sedge (Mobius) (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

On Mobius, sedges are a family of graminoid (grass-like), monocotyledonous flowering plants. The family is large, with some 5,500 known species described in about 90 genera, the largest being the "true sedges" with over 2,000 species.
These species are widely distributed, with the centers of diversity for the group occurring in tropical Yurashia and tropical Souamer. While sedges may be found growing in almost all environments on Mobius, many are associated with wetlands, or areas with poor soils. Ecological communities dominated by sedges are known as sedgelands or sedge meadows.
Some species superficially resemble the closely related rushes and the more distantly related grasses. Features distinguishing members of the sedge family from grasses or rushes are stems with triangular cross-sections (with occasional exceptions, a notable example being the tule which has a round cross-section) and leaves that are spirally arranged in three ranks. In comparison, grasses have alternate leaves, forming two ranks.
==Culinary uses==
Sedges can be eaten raw or cooked. They are somewhat salty and contain 25% to 30% protein. Thus, they are used as a supplement to many meat-based dishes on Mobius.
