Redbud: Edible Beauty

My redbud is in full bloom right now, and April is the perfect time to take those tiny pink blossoms and add them to a salad.  They are quite edible and add a unique splash of spring color to a green salad.  Watch for the young green pod that will form later on the tree.  These are also edible and can be cooked and used as you would snow peas!

  1. I had not idea redbud was edible! And the pods? Wow, I'll be down for spring salad sometime this week, ha-ha.

    Been WAY too hot today, air feels stifling. I dream storms....
