Use: Salad, cooked green, tea, flour. Although not among the choicest of wild foods, clovers are both abundant and rich in protein. The flowerheads and tender young leaves are difficult to digest raw, but can be eaten in quantity if soaked for several hours in slaty water or boiled for 5-10 minutes. The dried flowerheads make a delicate healthful tea when mixed with other teas. The dried flowerheads and seeds can be ground into a nutritious flour.
