It is super good for you as it contains vitamins A, C, E and B vitamins. It also contains calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, selenium, and copper. It is a heart shaped thin delicate leaf with a flavor of mild mustard and a hint of garlic. The flowers are white with four petals shaped like a cross. If you try to dry the leaves, they become nearly transparently thin. The best way to enjoy the plant is fresh. Just a warning, it wilts quickly. The older it gets, the more bitter it becomes. It is also more bitter under dry environment conditions. It likes to grow in shady edges of woods.
