A visitor, native of Korea, upon seeing our profusion of creeping sedum (the variety with the golden blossoms) told us that when she was growing up they used to make delicious salads from the leaves of this plant, picked early, i.e. before blossoms appeared. While I don't doubt her, before I give this a taste test I'd like to make sure the plant she knew back home was indeed creeping sedum and not some look-alike. Has anyone ever eaten creeping sedum, or at least heard of someone who has? Thanks for your help.

I found this online.

All creeping sedums are edible, but Goldmoss is considered very mildly toxic, & may cause stomach upset & wooziness if a great deal of it were eaten.

Thank you, Bestofour. I'm glad I asked. Mildly toxic is not my cup of tea (or plate of salad) so I don't think I'll try it.
