Our neighbor has had the most beautiful nasturtiums blooming in her herb garden. The children brought over a handful which made a lovely bouquet…
And not only are they lovely to look at, but they also are good to eat. Several family members were here for a recent meal, and we all enjoyed eating the blooms on a large salad.
If you’ve never eaten nasturtium blooms before, you may be surprised. They taste much like radishes and make a wonderful addition to a salad. My neighbor and I also ate some straight from her garden. Thank you, Alisa, for the edible flowers!

They make them into tea. I haven’t tasted any though.

They also make wonderful tortoise treats – my granny had a tortoise when I was a little boy, and naturally between me and the tortoise she had very few blooms to show off! 😀
