A little while ago we asked our Facebook audience for their suggestions and recipes for using our wonderful Nasturtium crop, that had grown exceptionally well. As usual the audience didn't disappoint and they came up with some wonderful suggestions. Using them in salads was definitely the top answer but they also had a few yummy ideas we would never have thought of.
Can't say we ever tried this...
but we certainly will now!
We've found Nasturtiums exceptionally easy to grow here in Sydney so it's great to have so many wonderful and different ways to use them, both savoury and sweet!
If you have got any other suggestions please do let us know in the comments below.
Happy Growing!

Memorable Nasturtiums
Was just telling a friend the other day how we used to pick the flowers and suck the nectar and Mum used to make us nasturtium leaf sandwiches. Great memories. Think I'll plant some.Susan, 2 February 2016
Any one for flowers
If you like flowers -try cooked pumpkin flowers. They are yummy in food or bacon and eggsVictor Strukovski , 2 February 2016

Try pickling the seeds and use like capersTricia Culshaw, 23 January 2016
Substitute for lettuce.
Living in Queensland my nasturtiums reach weed proportions with absolutely no care. A two or three dollar supermarket lettuce. for a person living on their own as I do. is wilted and useless before a quarter eaten. But nasturtium leaves, still alive from the picking, make a fine substitute with a more feisty peppery flavour. Free. Most of the year round .Colin Burt, 19 January 2016
