Are hostas edible? I don't know but according to several websites, and YouTube, they are. I don't know how I managed to come across the information, but it took me by surprise when I did, when I saw all those different website links telling us how those small tight shoots that appear each spring can be cut off and cooked. I wouldn't dream of doing it to my hostas, well maybe I might try one, but they are far too decorative for me to be chopping their pretty heads off the moment they appear after a long winter. Seems kinda cruel, don't you think?
