About Nasturtium leaf
Nasturtium leaf here refers to the round, edible leaves of the garden nasturtium. The leaves are soft and often have a peppery, mustard-like bite with a fresh, green aroma. Their flavor can be sharper in mature leaves than in young ones, and the leaves are commonly eaten raw.
They are used in salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish, and may also be cooked briefly. Fresh leaves are the usual form; cooked leaves lose volume and have a softer texture. This name refers to the leafy herb, not to the flowers or seed pods, which are also used as food.
