Edibles

Although traditionally water plants are seen as ornamental there are many varieties of edible water plants as well and these grow in everything from large ponds to small container water gardens on a balcony. You probably don’t realise it but If you have had a stir fry or a salad at an Asian restaurant then it’s likely you have already eaten dishes that contain edible water plants. These plants include Water Chestnuts, Taro and Water Spinach. There are also edible plants of Australia that grow in ponds including Brahmi and Nardoo. If you’re just starting out, then the Edible Pond starter pack is a great way to try them out. The variety of plants in our pack can be used to make salads, brew tea, be added to Middle Eastern Cuisine and Asian dishes. No sure what to make , then check out recipe ideas for water plants
