Common Scurvy grass (Cochlearia officinalis) beginning to flower along the coast. As the name suggests, this was used as a treatment for Scurvy in the past due to its high levels of vitamin C. Unless you think you're coming down with Scurvy, I wouldn't bother trying it as tastes pretty rough 🤢

Scurvy Grass (Cochlearia officinalis) beginning to flower. Usually one of the earlier plants to flower along the coast, it is high in vitamin C and was used to treat Scurvy on long sea voyages. I've tried a taste myself but will wait until I've actually got Scurvy next time 🤢
