Special Garden Project 2024, Princess of India Nasturtium, brought to you by Nebraska Extension and 4-H. Nasturtium: what’s edible? Seeds can be eaten raw or pickled. Flowers are used to dye vinegar and other infusions, garnish drinks, salads, soups, pasta, and desserts, and make some stuffed flowers. Stems, a similar texture to chives, are used in salads and more. Leaves, both big and small, use as you would lettuce. All parts taste very similar and have a peppery “bite” that resembles a radish.
