The spelling is off, but you can eat both leaves and flowers of the nasturtium plant. Be sure to wash them well, as people use a lot of pesticides on flowers. They are slightly spicy and quite yummy.

Yes you can. Nasturtiums - Come in varieties ranging from trailing to upright and in brilliant sunset colors with peppery flavors. Nasturtiums rank among most common edible flowers. Blossoms have a sweet, spicy flavor similar to watercress. Stuff whole flowers with savory mousse. Leaves add peppery tang to salads. Pickled seed pods are less expensive substitute for capers. Use entire flowers to garnish platters, salads, cheese tortas, open-faced sandwiches, and savory appetizers.

Yes...nasturtiums are edible, both the blossoms and the leaves...taste a little like radishes...add a peppery bite to salad and the flowers are a beautiful garnish, as well.

Nasturtium flowers are edible, and so are the leaves. If you chop them up they add a peppery/spicy taste to salads.

When making a salad I usually add flowers and tasty leaves to colour it all.
