Nasturtiums have a lovely minty flavor
Nasturtiums and Pansies are wonderful additions to your veggie garden! They'll add hits of gorgeous color to your plots and Nasturtiums will even ward off many pests. Best of all...
They're also edible!
Flowers in the Viola Family, such as Pansies (and Violets) have a faint minty flavor. The flowers and leaves of Nasturtiums have a peppery watercress tinge. Toss their brightly hued flowers on top of a salad or include as a pretty touch on an al fresco dinner plate.
Two simple ways to Live Beautifully!
