Edible Flowers

Edible flowers are blossoms that can be consumed safely by humans and are often used for culinary purposes. They can enhance the presentation and flavor of dishes, and are typically used in salads, desserts, beverages, and as garnishes. Edible flowers can provide a variety of tastes, including sweet, peppery, or herbal notes, and may also offer nutritional benefits. Common examples include nasturtiums, violets, pansies, and calendula. It is important to ensure that the flowers are free from pesticides and other chemicals before consumption, and not all flowers are safe to eat, so proper identification and knowledge are essential.
