Description

Buck's-horn plantain forms numerous leaves that are both tender and crunchy when young and have a subtle salty and nutty taste. They are ideal for use in delicious salads, while older leaves can be infused as tea and blanched as a vegetable side dish. In addition to the leaves, the young inflorescences are also edible before flowering. As a coastal plant, it is robust and frost hardy.
