Herb of the Week: Nasturtium
By Gia Yaccarino

The flowers and leaves are edible. Try throwing some into your next salad. The flowers have a bit of a peppery taste.

I made a “pesto” with the leaves – I pureed the following together: Nasturtium leaves, Kalamatta Olive juice, garlic scapes, Romano cheese.

Safe for cats: Yes

Safe for dogs: While not palatable to most dogs due to the peppery taste, it can cause GI upset if ingested
