Nuho is water wormwood, the same mulssuk in the crop guide, growing along marshes and stream edges. It resembles mugwort but carries a bluish-white cast, and its fragrant, crisp taste made it soup stock and a dressed green. A second item, mokduchae — glossed dulhup in old Korean — is appended to the same entry.
