When I was a kid I used to make chains out of white clover flowers. I'd just go out to the school yard and sit in a field of them and make as long of a chain as I'd like or at least as long of a chain as I could make before dinner was ready and I had to go inside to eat. This has to be one of the few plants I never thought about eating though.
Bees sure do like it and it's one of the more popular honey flavors but to look at it it doesn't seem like a food stuff. Like most greens you find in a field it's bitter but it's been used to make teas and can be put into salads. All of the plant is edible and the flowers make a nice tea.
Fair warning though, make sure you wash them just in case the wildlife has found the patch of clover first. You never know what happens out there.
