Harvesting/eating Sedum Sarmentosum aka stringy stonecrop – experiences?

Hi All,

We have a large patch of sedum sarmentosum and I have used the leaves in a few dishes. But the plant is quite aggressive and if we are going to control it through harvesting, we need to eat more of it. I have not found a lot of information online about just how much of it we can eat before it gives us “indigestion.” I find it tedious to remove the leaves from the stems. My questions are:
1. Does anyone else have experience eating this sedum? Did you ever experience indigestion? If we put a handful in salad almost everyday will that be a problem?
2. How edible are the stems? Can I just grab some strings and chop up until the stem is tough?
3. Ours are not flowering right now, but when they do, do you eat the flowers?

Any insight is much appreciated.

Also, for what its worth, online sources are saying this stuff needs sunlight/won’t grow in shade, but ours seems very happy just a few feet from the trunk of a 50+ year old pin oak. I think it gets 2 hours of afternoon sunlight per day in summer, maybe 3. Rabbits don’t touch it.
