...re: lots of leaves, not just one.) Put the dried leaves in a spice mill or coffee grinder and pulse until ground. Think of nasturtium dust as a kind of zombie apocalypse pepper replacement. Or as a salad dressing ingredient. It is surprisingly tasty–better than fresh nasturtium, and without that bite. It would be fantastic combined with a little good salt.
