Wow - nasturtium buds! Who knew! My dad grew the flowers - beautiful - and used the leaves in salads. Very peppery!

Interesting word, "shunning". All I could find was this: "There's a word called shun, which is the expression of the perfect seasonal time for something -- it could be a few days or a week a certain ingredient is in shun."

So - a seasonal seasoning? I look forward to finding out. Words are amazing!
