Love your pretty red nastursiums - have you ever put them in salads? I haven’t, but do remember reading that they are very edible. (probably just the leaves)

Thank you, Billie.

Found this..and also a suggestion to mix flower petals minced with butter..There are many edible flowers.

Nasturtium

Nasturtiums are an attractive and nutritious addition to salads, and they make a beautiful garnish. Nasturtiums have 10 times the vitamin C of lettuce, so add a gererous portion of leaves and flowers to your salad mixes. Grind the seeds in a pepper mill, and use as you would black pepper.
