Choosing Edible Flowers
Edible flowers add unexpected color and flavor to salads and other foods. Here are a few favorites to choose from:
- Pansies are slightly spicy.
- Calendulas are bland, but with their yellow and gold colors, they make a pretty garnish.
- Nasturtiums are peppery.
- Chive blossoms have an oniony flavor.
- Squash blossoms taste a little like the squash they come from.
- Roses offer a slight sweetness.
- Violas or violets bring a sweet -- but sometimes tangy or spicy -- flavor.
- Geranium flavors vary, so taste before using.
- Borage has a cucumber-like flavor.
