The gazpacho is one of the great classics of raw and summer cuisine. Fresh and light, it is especially welcome during periods of heat. In this original version, nasturtium brings out the recipe.
Often relegated to the status of a mere decorative flower, the nasturtium is actually one of the most underrated plants of our gardens. It finds a noble place here in a vibrant, fresh recipe.
What does nasturtium contain ?
Here is what nasturtium contains: glucotropaeolin (which releases benzyl isothiocyanate by hydrolysis, responsible for the peppery taste), flavonoids, vitamin C and mineral salts.
Its peppery, slightly spicy taste is reminiscent of that of the watercress or the rocket, making it an ideal plant to enhance a raw recipe
