Buy Nasturtium edible flower seeds NZ –

Did you know that Nasturtium is edible?

Rambling Nasturtium may have the mistaken identity of a weed, but its one packed with nutrition, with multiple uses.
The green leaves contain vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin A (and more), making them a nutritious peppery addition to a meal.
Nasturtium can be enjoyed in salads, to decorate desserts, use the flowers as a garnish on an antipasto platter, or pickle the green seed pods.
My kids favourite is to pick the flowers and suck the sweet nectar from the stems, before munching on the sweet peppery flower.

A pretty and practical addition to the garden, this mix of Nasturtium flowers includes colours ranging from yellow to red.
Nasturtium encourages bees and other pollinators, which also assists with pollination of other nearby vegetables and fruits, and repels pests.
The flowers grow above the leaves with trailing stems on compact plants. Easy and fast to grow.
