Now Forage

An abundance of Gorse Flowers grow here. They take ages to pick but they smell like Coconut and are edible. There are few uses for prickly gorse as a wild edible. People once used gorse flowers to make wine and tea, and the leaf buds were used as a substitute for tea. The flower buds can be pickled in vinegar and added to salads for a tangy taste or pickled and eaten like capers.
