Decorate pastries, add them to salads or summer drinks. Here we give you tips on edible flowers and what you can do with them. NOTE! Never eat flowers that you are unsure about as they may be poisonous or sprayed.
🌼 DUSTY GARDEN. Beautiful to top salads and pastries with. 🌼 VIOLENCE. The violet grows wild and both the flowers and leaves are edible. 🌼 DANDELION. Young dandelion leaves are good in salads. You can make both juice and tea from the flowers. 🌼 CHIVE FLOWER. With their little purple balls, they add a lovely pop of color to your appetizer or salad. The flowers taste like chives but a little milder and sweeter. 🌼 RED CLOVER. In tea, salads or to decorate food and desserts. 🌼 LAVENDER. Goes well with sweet things. Use them in cake batter or to flavor sugar. 🌼 CUCUMBER. Small blue star-shaped flower that, with its faint cucumber flavor, is good in salads and potato salads, for example. 🌼 CRESS. A wonderfully effective flower to use as a decoration for most dishes. Or why not make a spiced butter from it for the grill? 🌼 ELDER FLOWERS. Is there anything more refreshing than a glass of elderberry juice on a hot day? Also try dipping the flower clusters in batter and deep-frying them. 🌼 LILACS. Just like elderflowers, you can make juice from them, but they are also great for decorating pastries and desserts. 🌼 MARIGOLD. The entire plant is edible, but the most popular use is to use the petals as a colorful decoration in salads or in a spiced butter. 🌼 ROSES. Excellent as decoration and the petals are fine to eat as long as they are not sprayed. 🌼 SUNFLOWERS. Boil the flower buds and eat them like an artichoke. The petals are also edible and great to sprinkle over a salad or baked goods. 🌼 ZUCCHINI FLOWERS. A real delicacy to fill with cream cheese and spices and roast or deep fry.
