Did you know that there are eadible flowers?

This is news and something I can learn now that we can actually real flowers. Are there any side effects or not?

Yeah. I remember one garden restaurant here. They are serving salad with rose petals.

Yes, I've heard about nasturtiums in salads. I believe you can also use rose petals and violets. The idea is to sugar them. The process is that you boil sugar and water I think then put the flowers or petals in and the sticky mixture adheres to the flower/petal. When dry, they are hard and can be used for cake or dessert decorating and can be eaten.

Hi. marguicha. Maybe for an insect it could be. I have never eaten flowers before. I have eaten lettuce leaves and spinach leaves. Never flowers that I can eat. If it is safe and healthy then I see nothing wrong with it.

I have heard of edible flowers but I don’t know which ones they are. It would be interesting to find out. I watched something on a lifestyle program about them a while ago. I may buy a book and learn more because according to the TV show there are many health properties as well associated with edible flowers and plants.

The nasturtium flowers are not only edible flowers but also medicine.It contains many species of carotenoids .It can be used to cure reddish swollen and painful eyes. The flower of Orange day lily is edible ,here it is a delicacy from mountain.

roses and chrysanthemum and wisteria are also eatable, not a lot of flavor, but eatable, have to pinch the little tip where the rose petals come from the flower cause that part is bitter

There were these little red flowers in my neighborhood growing up. No idea what they were, but they tasted sweet!

That is actually something that I have always been interested. I know that there are many edible flowers out there, many that we can grow in our own gardens, but I've never had the chance to try it. I had so many things going on this season that I barely had enough time to plant my flower gardens, let alone my veggie garden. This coming year though, my children and I have decided to dedicate a corner of the yard to a veggie patch. I too believe that it is important to have healthy choices and what better way to make sure that your family is getting them, than to grow them yourselves? I know that one of the things that my husband and I have promised to do in the coming year, is be a little more careful with the food choices that we make. I think that this is a great way to start and will be looking into it more. Thanks for the neat tip.

So far, I only know that there is one kind of flower called the ixora, which, the bottom of it has nectar and we can suck the nectar. It's sweet! Other than that, I think there are some flowers which can be fried, which I see on TV, some chefs do it.

I must say that I am very surprised, but it does sound pretty interesting, I'll look into this, for sure. Thanks so much for sharing! :-) PS - can flowers be used as seasoning herbs as well? Just wondering...

Yes, here in the Philippines, there's this one restaurant that serves rose and orchids petals as an entree to their guests. According to the people who was being interviewed by the reporter of the popular show here, those flowers tastes good plus it gave much nutrients and unique dining experience to those who tasted it. I never knew that those two flowers were edible till I saw that show. I wish I could try it out for my self as well in the future. Have a nice day ahead!

I remember I was stuck to a place were there are no restos and bars. Only a small eatery. But quite impressive because of the aesthetics and the chandelier. I was surprised when they gave me the menu and they are serving different kinds of flower. I forgot some. But, what I love is the rose salad. That's really great.

Yes, but I haven't tried one. They say that some flowers can be eaten and served. I want to know what there taste will be.

Yes, there are some flowers that are really edible. Like the santan here in the Philippines and roses too. I was quite shocked by it when I saw my classmates eating the petals of a rose- but it really was edible; never knew there were more flowers...

You're lucky because you had a garden to plant vegetables and flowers. I always dream that I also have a garden like that. But I can't. I'm living in a rent room. I want to plant orchid flowers but I'm afraid that they may be stolen. So, I can't plant them.

hi, nasturtium flower is like an gumamela flower, i think that flower can only live at cold places, coz i have not seen that flower here in my country, even at cold places here, haven't seen yet.
