I know marigold, rose etc. But I never practically use it. Do you use flowers in your recipe? Please name flowers which are edible. If possible then suggest its uses in day-to-day menu.

my favourite is Borage. Boragio Officianalis.

it's a herb with beautiful deep blue star shaped flowers. both the flowers and leaves taste cucumbery and are edible. lovely in summer drinks like Pimms. or in salads.

another that's really nice are the flowers of courgette plants. they look lovely on the end of the courgette too. but you can cut them, stuff them, and cook them.

Though considered a weed, dandelions are edible, just you don't want to eat too many. After soaking them in salt water, you just use a mixture of flour,corn meal and seasonings, like when you deep fry mushrooms and fry them..
And of course clovers are edible. I also take dandelion and clovers and juice them with carrots, makes a great energy drink for spring cleaning.

Another flower that I recently found was edible, is the flowers on the red bud tree.. You would really have to collect many to get a serving, so I just pick some as I go by and they taste like a sweet lettuce..I think they would be great on salads, I may try it this year..

hey, thanks for a very informative post... we have red bud around us and I did not know this about them, I am anxious to give them a try this spring, now.

aren't violets also edible?


myLot reputation of 91/100. carmelanirel (5261)   ranked 206 out of 8,627 in cooking  9 months ago

I don't know about violets. Actually it would be nice if a herbalist would respond. Because like I said about the dandelions, some flowers, though they are edible, can be dangerous if you eat too many, especially if they have medical tendencies..

Though I also wondered about roses. The Turkish Delight that they had in the Narnia movie? It calls for rose water and I wondered how that was made, with roses? petals or leaves? I would like to know that..

I had no idea that a marigold would be edible...
my son is really up on such topics and he has given me various blossoms to try -
I think one is called nesturcians which had a bit of a peppery flavor
he has also given me a lily blossom I think it was from a day lily, probably stella d'ora??
Squash blossoms are tasty as well.

I am sure there are countless others -

hAVE YOU TRIED THE peppery flavour of nasturtiums/leaves/flowers in a salad? I also make the best tasting capers out of nasturtium seeds. So much cheaper and just as good.

I've used sugared nasturtiums on top of cupcakes. I've used dandelion leaves in salad and have heard the flowers can be used for wine.

Aside from cauliflower and broccoli the most popular and versatle among the edible flowers is the rose. I read it can be made into wine, cake added to soup and salad. It can be fried just like the Japanese Tempura. I have not eaten them yet. I will try it one of these days.
