Columbines: too pretty to eat?

I recently learned from my friend Serena that Columbines, a pretty perennial which attract hummingbirds, are also edible! I have no idea why someone would eat these beauties. Hopefully they are delicious.

I'm relatively new to gardening & this plant was one that I was sure I'd killed since all of it's leaves withered, but they reappeared a few months ago and just a few weeks ago blooms have appeared.

Horray! I probably won't be eating my columbines..their too pretty!
