Yes clovers are healthy especially the red buds. Just eat them raw.

All clover flowers are edible and good whether red, pink, or white. There are some plants with yellow flowers that look like clovers but are not. Do not eat. The clover leaves should not be eaten in any quantity. They are not poisonous but contain lots of oxalic acid which leaches calcium out of your system. Lots of people enjoy sorrel, which looks a little bit like clover. This can be enjoyed once in a while but it also leaches calcium out of your system and should be enjoyed sparingly as a snack more than as a salad.
According to Peterson's Guide, neither the flower heads nor leaves should be eaten raw because they are difficult to digest. Both should be soaked in salt water for several hours or you can boil them for 5-10 minutes.
I ate a dog named clover once... guess that don't count:D
Be advised, over-consumption of clover could lead to irresistable urges to start twitching one's nose and hopping about aimlessly in meadows. Also, one's ears will begin to grow in an elongated manner and one will tend to want to breed again and again and again, all in the same summer.
If you have been eating clover and begin to experience any of these symptoms stay well away from lynx, wolves, coyotes, and Elmer Fudd.
Nothing on the pot o' gold for those who turn leprechaun from such consumption... Trax I'm ashamed of you for leaving that out.
And Bear Gryllis's production folks. (Bear himself is harmless).

Oxalic acid is also a main component in one type of kidney stones. Avoid clover and oxalis if you have had kidney stones before.

Just something I happened to remember. My Mom & everyone I know in the Northern part of Maine make their own honey from clover. Not many bees North of Caribou. I remember this from my childhood and before some smarta$$ asks, no we didn't fly around with a little bucket collecting nectar. It was good stuff and a shame Swedes weren't big on biscuits.
