Nasturtium is an annual plant with edible seeds, leaves, and flowers that are rich in Vitamin C. This plant is a subset of the cabbage family which also includes watercress. Nasturtium is easy to grow because it can thrive in poor soil like a weed.
The leaves and flowers of this plant have a slightly peppery flavor. The seeds are often pickled and taste a bit like capers. Leaves and flowers are used fresh in salads, butters, and honeys.
Nasturtium leaves, flowers and seeds all have antibiotic properties. These three parts of the plant are used together by herbalists to treat respiratory and urinary tract infections.
