Edible Flowers

I was reading a post about edible flowers where they recommend Hibiscus flowers in your salad. Now that rings a bell as I have seen Hibiscus Tea in he shops already.

tropaeolum majusMy most favorite edible flowers are Indian Cress (Tropaeolum Majus – Garden Nasturtium).

I grow the climbing cultivars of Garden Nasturtium after the harvest of peas to keep the land free of weeds. Garden Nasturtium grows very fast but it freezes at the end of the season, so it’s quite easy to remove all the rotten leaves the next spring.

I also grow bush Indian Cress in between my beans, as the Indian Cress attracts aphids, so no need to use pesticides on my other vegetables!

I love to eat the flowers of Indian Cress in a salad and being a cookingdiva myself: I do make a nice cress soup out of the leaves. :-)
