Nasturtiums are very nutritious. They contain vitamin C as well as other antioxidants and micro nutrients. Originally from Peru they are also reported to have medicinal properties. The leaves and flowers are both edible and may have antiviral antibacterial and anti fungal effects. Anti tumor activity is also mentioned by some sources. A tea can be made of the leaves and flowers and used as a poultice to help with bacterial and fungal infections and even possibly treat acne.
