Facts:
Empress of India Nasturtium is rich in numerous vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, B, C, and copper. It also has plentiful antioxidants, which have been shown to prevent and reduce the risk of cancer. Nasturtium leaves are also a great source of potassium and fiber, both critical parts of a balanced diet. Empress of India Nasturtium has been loved since the Victorian Era when novelty plants first became popular to collect. They have persisted as one of the most loved varieties available!
Many cooks and gardeners use the leaves and flowers in salads, sushi, and other applications. They are similar to water-cress in flavor and texture; they can be described as peppery by some. Clip off the leaves and flowers when in their prime, but never remove more than a third of the plant at once to keep the production going! Removing some flowers will encourage more flowers to come on.
