I tried a few of the flowers raw (after rinsing them off). It took me a minute to identify the taste — to me, they taste like snap peas! Maybe that makes sense given that they’re in the same family as peas (Faboideae)?

Here’s someone recommending using it as seasoning: Melilot, aka Sweet Clover, aka Melilotus sp.

I’m a little scared of poisoning myself though so I think I’ll stop here this time.
