“One of my favourite things I didn’t know you could eat is Baby Sun Rose,” says Blayne Bertoncello, chef at O.My, and gardener at the restaurant’s two-acre farm. “It tastes like fresh, sour, green apple and it’s all over our menu.”
Bertoncello uses it to add crunch to leafy greens, or to make a green bean and Baby Sun Rose salad dressed with a lemony vinaigrette and served with steamed fish. Raw is best, he says, the plant can lose its structure when cooked.
Grow it This hardy, sprawling, evergreen groundcover is an easy grower and loves full sun or part-shade in well-drained soil.
Eat it Munch on the fleshy leaves and pretty rose-pink flowers in salads or it can also be used as an apple alternative with pork as a raw garnish.
Isa sa mga edible flowering na halaman ay ang Baby Sun Rose. Succulent sya at madali matutubo dito sa Pilipinas. Edible din sya – pwede kainin raw at pwede rin idagdag sa mga salads.
