Melilotus officinalis seeds, known as sweet yellow clover seeds, yellow melilot seeds, ribbed melilot seeds and common melilot seeds, is a species of legume native to Eurasia and introduced in North America, Africa, and Australia. Yellow Sweet Blossom Clover Seed (Melilotus Officinalis) is commonly used for bees in honey production, cover crops, conservation, wildlife food plots, pastures, hay and green manure or soil building. This clover variety is known to attract honey bees and beneficial predatory wasps. While it is still young, Yellow Sweet Clover has a few edible uses: The leaves are said to have a mild, almost vanilla-like flavor. They can be enjoyed in a salad, lightly boiled (for no more than five minutes), or even dried and crushed. The seeds are pea-like and make for a great seasoning in stews, soups, and various other dishes. Sowing too deep will reduce the germination dramatically. The soil should be rolled after sowing to increase soil moisture
