Nasturtium flowers have a crunchy texture and at first taste sweet, followed by a peppery taste similar to a radish. Both the petals and the leaves contain vitamin C and iron, and the leaves are also said to have antibiotic properties.
When I first planted these Empress of India seeds back in March, I noticed on the package that it said 'great in salads' and was immediately intrigued by the idea. If you have nasturtiums growing in your garden, and you haven't tasted them, I would encourage you to give them a try!
