"Goldmoss Stonecrop" (Sedum acre)
2007 June 27
2007 June 27This plant was growing along the roadside on our street.
"All creeping sedums are edible, but Goldmoss is considered mildly toxic, & may cause stomach upset and wooziness if a great deal of it were eaten. It was nevertheless used in old England, Scotland and Wales as an addition to salads for its "peppery" bite. If fried it loses its mild toxicity, and is a good substitute for sweet peppers in home-made relish. In Scandinavian countries S. acre was used for a tea similar to lemonaid." ...

Not something we've tried!
