Variegated nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus) is an edible flower and herb prized for its striking green and cream-marbled leaves, vibrant blossoms, and peppery flavor. The leaves and flowers have a slightly spicy, mustard-like taste, similar to watercress, making them a flavorful addition to salads, sandwiches, and garnishes. The flowers, which range in color from yellow to deep red, bring a bright, floral note to dishes. The young seed pods can be pickled and used as a substitute for capers. This versatile plant enhances both the visual appeal and taste of culinary creations.
