DELICIOUS

NASTURTIUM FLOWERS

I've just discovered nasturtiums!

I've always known them as a beautiful

flower of Spring . . .

orange, reds and yellows.

But a friend made me pick one

(the yellow one, 3rd photo down),

and eat it!

What a delicious surprise.

At first they're sweet, and then

they turn peppery, spicy.

(Makes sense. They're in the watercress family.)

Now I put them in salads.

They're beautiful to view, delicious to eat.

(Try them with fresh strawberries.)

Yum.
