Description

Extremely common and invasive plant. Leaves have a sharp, garlicky odor. Garlic mustard is nutritious, and though strongly flavored, makes a decent pesto, especially when mixed half with parsley or basil. Pick as early in the year as possible, before the plants flower and the leaves become more bitter.
