Whole plant is edible including the root and its best in the early summer. Its best to just take a couple of leaves from each plant though as although its locally common, it isn't common all over the country. Goes well with fish, particularly if used with gooseberries..... Great with offal too, as well as Greek style yoghurt dips with chicken or cucumber. I'll be putting up a 'foraging in May' thread soon; it'll likely be in there.
