I love spring. Really, I love it. And a big part of that is because of this little tree: the Eastern Redbud. Why is this? Get ready for it…
The.
Flowers.
Are.
Edible.
Yes. They are. And they are delicious. They taste like a slightly sweet version of snap peas. Yum.
To Eat: pick the flowers. Pinch off the stamen and pistil (so as not to eat the pollen), and place into your mouth.
Enjoy!
