Nasturtium Leaves are one of our most popular leaves here at Nurtured! Available in not 1, not 2, but 4 different varieties! You can shop Green, Blue, Variegated and XL Nasturtium Leaves.
Nasturtium leaves have a distinct flavour and appearance, which adds an attractive touch to a variety of dishes. Shaped like small lily pads with veins running through them, nasturtiums make the cutest garnishes. Although, they are much more than a garnish!
The flavour of nasturtiums is distinct: they are initially sweet, then develop a peppery spice.
Did you know? The richer the soil, the stronger the flavour – That’s why we grow all our microgreens in soil!
Nasturtium leaves are pretty good for you, too. They are a great source of Vitamins A, C and D, as well as as iron and beta-carotene. High in Vitamins A, C, and D, means they will assist in the working of the immune system, help wound healing, and promote healthy bones, teeth and muscles.
It’s easy to think nasturtium leaves are only used as a garnish. Although, this is certainly not the case. Nasturtiums make a beautiful garnish, but they can also be used as a replacement for lots of leafy greens. Check out a few ideas below!
