edible flowers

Edible flowers are flowers that can be safely consumed and often used to enhance the visual appeal and flavor of dishes. They come from various plants, such as nasturtiums, pansies, and lavender, offering unique tastes like sweet, spicy, or herbal notes. When properly sourced and identified, they add not only beauty but also subtle flavors to salads, desserts, and drinks. It's important to ensure flowers are grown without pesticides and are specifically labeled as edible, as some flowers are toxic. Incorporating edible flowers can elevate culinary presentations and introduce new sensory experiences.
