Never heard of such a thing. Like to see a picture of the naturtium blossom. Please, Please.

The flowers, leaves, and stems add a nice, peppery touch to everything from soups to salads. You can even pickle the seeds and immature fruit and use them as a substitute for capers, should you be so inclined

Made me look to see what a naturtium blossom was also. I've included a picture.
I couldn't even imagine eating one of those pretty flowers. Maybe they would look good and a garnish next to a nice porter house and baked potato .

Good Luck and HH

Sounds like one of those Left Coast Recipes! Probably tastes pretty good tho! Never had Nasturtium! I stay away from ingredients I don't know, like Wild Mushrooms!

I agree with you gypsy they are tasty any way you make them. Your a girl after my own heart. I forage the best I can even with my heath problems. I had pickled hot fiddleheads for lunch, I have to ask the person that gave them to me if she has the recipe, yummy

I've always been afraid to eat things I find in the woods.
You did get me mchamby, I had to look and see what fiddleheads were.
