Both the flowers and the leaves of this plant are edible. I'm told that the flowers aren't particularly tasty, but the leaves have a fragrance similar to wasabi, the root ground and eaten with sushi.

Hi Lyndsay! Wasabi is made from a different plant but the leaves of this nasturtium smell similar to wasabi. Real wasabi, or Japanese horseradish, is a member of the cabbage family.

Hello there! Is wasabi really made from nasturtiums?!
