Beekeepers might be interested in this curry?

I just read this on t'interweb
Himalayan Balsam-is a tasty plant commonly-eaten-as curry in its native Northern India. ... Just DON'T plant them! Immature seed pods (before they reach the 'explosive' stage) are-edible-whole, and-can-be cooked like radish pods or mangetout (snow peas) and used in stir-fries and curries.

You make one and eat it, if you are still around in a week I might try it!!!!

Just had to weed out dozens of them growing along the river bank in my garden. I had been allowing them to grow until this year, as I lost out to a slumping bank with the very wet Winter. They are not good news as they overcome other plants that retain the banks, then they die off leaving the bank exposed and vulnerable to erosion.
Just glad the bees didn't see what I was doing.
