Elm trees started blooming this week and their tender flowers taste like fresh lettuce.

Wash and drain. Easiest recipe is to make scrambled eggs. You can also lightly coat it with flour then steam for 10 minutes and it’s ready to eat with salt and pepper. Fancier versions you can light stir fry the steamed product with olive oil and garlic.
