Flowers - raw or cooked, a sweet flavour. The flowers produce nectar all the time they are open so, assuming the plant is grown indoors and is not visited by pollinating insects, the sweetness increases the longer the flower is open.

History and or Etimology
'Mallow' is derived from the Greek malassein, 'to soften,' as alluding to the demulcent qualities of these mucilaginous plants. The Common Mallow is a well-known roadside plant, with large downy leaves, and streaked trumpet-shaped purple flowers, which later on furnish round button-like seeds, known to the rustics as 'pickcheeses' in Norfolk and elsewhere, whilst beloved by schoolboys, because of their nutty flavour, and called by them 'Bread and Cheese.'
mallow (n.)
late 14c., spelling alteration of late Old English malwe and directly from Latin malva "mallows" (source also of Modern French mauve, Spanish and Italian malva), a word from a Mediterranean substrate language. The same lost word apparently yielded Greek malakhe "mallow."
The Latin specific epithet pictum means 'painted'
