    Pick it, stick it in yer gob, chew :D

    It's a bit tangy, could be added to salads I guess, or garnish some dish or other. Never actually "done" anything with it, just pick the odd bit now and then when it's about.

    Tastes a bit like those apple jacks (sweets) I used to munch on as a kid.

    2nd pic probably taken later.... it closes up for protection at night or in bad weather.
