Tonight, as we are prepping to leave town on vacation, we wanted to eat some of our left over winter cold frame greens that are approaching their end. Arugula, is a favorite, and when it bolts/goes to seed, the leaves get very spicy. Tonight B came in and said "oh, google arugula flowers and see if their edible. I just ate one and it's great!" So, here's the gem....arugula flowers are amazingly sweet spicy and a phenomenal treat! We went to an old standard tonight. Did your grandma make salad dressing with mayo, vinegar and sugar?? Well, mine did and we did a similar variation with the chive flower vinegar I made after Palmer's post and all I can say is heaven!!
Bottom line....try arugula flowers---and chive vinegar, for that matter!

i made chive vinegar (and olive oil) too. :-) now i've got to see if my arugula is flowering! :-) and double-posting is great! that way you spread the word to more people!
Great idea - I particularly like that B first ate one and then asked you to check if they were edible!
Horray, Im glad that you liked the chive vinegar!!! I would be very interested to hear about your, or others, cold frames
Ooooh, we have some of these growing in our garden... I had no idea they were edible! Must try them... :)
Thank you,
