I have eaten the flowers and leaves in salads, the leaves have a mild peppery taste.

I've eaten the leaves, but haven't tried the flowers. If I can keep Jackson out of the flower bed, I'll give them a try this year!

Yes, I've eaten them ... sort of a peppery taste to me.

Beautiful banner!

Nasturtiums are one of my favorites from way back. The flowers are nice in salads for a little peppery flavor but more for how pretty they look. When I was a child, would bite the tip off the spur and drink the nectar, of course now I leave that for the butterflies.

I've eaten them. They never make it to the salad bowl --- I just eat them in the garden -- leaves & blooms both. Peppery but mild peppery.

Chelle, the old saying is treat nasturtiums nasty & that's why I call them nasties. The worse you treat them, the more they like it. You're killing them with kindness. They like it dry too. And Natalie has the right of it. Poke a hole, drop them in, cover them over & forget about them.

Ooo, I love that nasturtium! I have a friend who is wild about them, and I will look for that one for her. I bought one in a hanging planter one year when I lived in the woods (I moved to the city), but the deer ate it!

Thanks for the comments, and tips.

Oh my goodness I just now checked in here and saw I had acquired 7 acorns coming from Marilyn, Natalie and KyWoods !!! What a surprise after my earlier comment on Margaret's Nasturtiums ! I was just joking around but thank you all so much. I had fewer then 10 so these undeserved acorns were really appreciated ! Thanks to all of you !!!

That is awesome Linda!! Don't we have the most generous, wonderful friends here on ATP!

Awesome....

Just had to do it Linda! I knew you were joking! It was so funny, so you got a tip for that!

And I agree on the wonderful friends here! AWESOME!

Thank you Natalie !!

Nasturtium flower buds (maybe refered to as 'capers'?) are really good too; flowers and leaves put zest into a summer salad.

Yep, I knew you were joking too, Linda, but hey, you deserve acorns for sharing such a wonderful plant!

Thank You !

Margaret

I just love your banner. I have always been such a big fan of nasturtiums. I grow them every year.

You guys are something else ! Thank you Tee, ( Song of Joy ) for the gift of the acorns !

Thank you Carolyn!

Natalie, thank you very much for the tip.

You are welcome! I thought I had done it at the same time as Linda's. Meant to, but didn't!
