Yes, the flowers are edible, although I don't know what they taste like. Probably similar to the leaves -- perhaps more mild.
If you want your thyme plants to continue producing lots of leaves, I would recommend snipped off the flowering structure before it gets too far. When certain herbs "bolt" (send up a flowering stalk), sometimes the leaves become tougher and/or less tasty. Other times, the leaves become smaller and narrower.
Either way, if you're growing the herb for its leaves, you should prevent it from flowering. If, however, you want to have some seeds to plant for next year, go ahead and let some of the plants flower, so you can save the seeds. :)
I grow my own Thyme - this year it flowered on top - anyone know if the flowers are edible or affect the taste
Yes, they are edible...no, they won't affect the taste...just the growth of the plant.

Numerous flowers appear from spring through fall but mostly in June and July. They are tubular, lilac to pink, under quarter inch long, and arranged in small terminal clusters.
Dried flowers have been used to preserve linen from insects. Leaves and flowers are ingredients in sachets.
Use: Thymol, the essential oil of thyme, has a long list of historical medicinal uses. Thyme has a strong, herbal and pungent taste. Its flavor is sometimes confused with marjoram, but thyme is stronger, and is at its best when used in long, slowly cooked dishes, or as a marinade.
Leaves and sprigs are used as seasoning in clam chowder, stuffing, with meats, flavored vinegars, pickles, and mustard. Thyme is used to flavor liqueurs and is one of the flavorings in Benedictine liqueur. The flowers are edible. The oil is used in flavoring toothpastes, mouth washes, and cough medicines.
Thymol's antiseptic and stimulating properties are useful in colognes, after-shave lotions, soaps, and detergents.

==================================
Harvest stems and leaves for drying just as flowering begins, cutting the entire plant back to about 5 cm (2 inches) above the ground.
For the rest of the season, harvest only the tips of the branches so the plants are sturdy enough to survive fall and winter temperatures.
To dry garden thyme, lay the stems flat or hang them in bunches in a shady, dry location. Strip the dried leaves from the stems and store in an airtight container.
Freeze sprigs of garden thyme on a cookie tray and store in airtight freezer bags for use as required.

Reply:For most herbs, including thyme, the flowers should be pinched off in the bud stage, this causes the plant to leaf out more. They probably are edible, but I do not know of anyone who has eaten them. If you catch them early enough, it should not affect the pungency of the leaves, but if you let them go into full bloom, the leaves will lose some pungency.
Reply:Harvesting Thyme
Leaves can be harvested for fresh use throughout the summer, but the flavor is best just before flowering. To dry, cut the stems just as the flowers start to open and hang in small bunches. Harvest sparingly the first year.
Reply:the flowers are edible, i put them in my salad's. most flowers produced from edible vegitation is also edible... including roses, and some orchids.

Have you ever eaten an edible flower?
I have used dried daylily in my Chinese vegetable stew. Where fresh zucchini flowers are concerned, I stuff them with a rice-based mixture. In addition, a fine jam can be made out of rose petals. Finally, an excellent traditional Asian salad can be made out of banana flower buds.
Reply:Many times, nasturtium, honeysuckle, and fuschias - did you know the little pale pink ones beat honeysuckle any day?
Also eaten inedible ones, like daisies, buttercups, etc, they don't do any harm , I think most flowers are edible anyway. Maybe the poisonous ones don't grow in my garden anyway.

nasturtiums are especially good in salads, very peppery flavored. All edibles have a unique flavor.
I have candied many viola or violets for wedding cakes, believe me. Very lovely and delicious.

Which Flowers are edible?
try this..fill your ice cube tray to half place small pansies and borage flowers in them and then put more water in it. These flowers are edible and make very pretty looking ice cubes.
And of course, you can toss them in salads, just like nasturtiums.
Some roses are edible too. my mum use to put rose petals from the red and pink roses in sugar syrup. and do so till the jar was full and all the petals were fully immersed in sugar syrup. she use to keep the jar in sun every day for two weeks. it cold be eaten then. in India, we called it 'Gulkand'. it tastes yumm!! said to have some medicinal value as well.
Which Flowers are edible?
I've eaten an orchid before, I hear you have to be very careful with edible flowers since some can be poisonous. It tasted like a salad, nothing special.
Reply:Elderberry flowers can be made into fritters. The berries also make good wine and jelly. Day lilies are edible. You can eat all parts of the plant except the leaves. The pods, flowers, and roots are edible. Nasturtium flowers are edible and the leaves can be used in salads. Dandelions make great wine and the unopened buds and early greens are edible. Sunflower seeds are edible. Violets are edible and are often candied for a treat.

Reply:ORCHIDS! They're really colourful and the petals are edible. Hmm...they're usually imported from Singapore or Thailand though. Alternatively, the hibiscus is good too, less expensive (: but again i don't know if your local florist stocks tropical flowers.
Oh and as a last resort, you acn always buy cauliFLOWER from the nearest supermarket! Sorry~ couldn't resist xD LOL
Reply:I don't know where you live, but you can usually get edible flowers are nicer markets. Ive gotten them at Whole Foods and Im pretty sure I've seen them at Publix once or twice as well.

Dianthus - cheddar pinks
Lavender
Pea flowers %26amp; Scarlet Runner Beans
Pear flowers
Queen Anne's Lace
Lilac

edible flowers
superfine sugar
egg whites, at room temperature
water
Brush petals with an egg white that is slightly beaten with a couple of drops of water.
Hold the petal with a tweezer, and sprinkle with superfine sugar. Tap the tweezer to remove excess sugar.
Remove to a rack to dry completely. Store in an airtight container.
Sugared flowers can be made in advance and stored up to one month.
Are there edible types of flowers?
There are many. The flowers of squash are good filled with cream cheese, nasturtium flowers and leaves are good in salads and I like to snack on the flowers. Lavender, rose petals, pansies and marigold are also good for eating. There are many others, just be sure that the flowers have not been sprayed with pesticides and you wash them well to remove any hidden bugs.
Reply:yes, as long as they're not from poisonous plants, then they're edible.
Reply:yes there are but i don't know the name of the ones that you can eat
Reply:Yes, you can eat courgette (zucchini) flowers and nasturtiums and I believe there are others. Nastursiums have a lovely peppery taste and are great for colour and taste in salads.
My grandmother used to make fritters with courgette flowers when I was little. They taste great.
Reply:Yes.
Dandelion greens can be eaten like spinach, when they're young. And just a couple of days ago I was given a recipe for dandelion syrup that uses the flower heads.
Rose hips (from roses) Are high in vitamin C, and rose hip syrup used to be used a lot during cold season. I've even heard of rose petals being used in salads.
There are others too.

What is crisco ? How can i make an edible flower on top of a cake ?
i always see crisco in all these recipes, what is it ?
and if i use a wedding cake type of icing, how can i make a flower?

What is crisco ? How can i make an edible flower on top of a cake ?
Crisco is a brand name for vegetable shortening... you can buy it in large tubs (think coffee can size) or packages of sticks for easy measuring. If making a flower out of icing then opt for a thicker icing (1/2 c. butter, 1/2 c. vegetable shortening, 4 c. powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla extract and splashes of milk until you have frosting the consistency of thick mashed potatoes). You can make roses using a flower pick (available at craft stores in the cake decorating section), but roses are difficult to make and take some practice. You could also buy star tip for your icing bag (again, look in cake decorating section of craft store) and pipe flowers directly onto the cake. Go to www.wilton.com - they should have some tips and techniques for you.
Good luck!!
Reply:Crisco is a solid vegetable shortening.
As for the flowers, they take a lot of time and practice. If you have a Hobby Lobby near you Wilton gives classes on cake decorating there and they sale all the supplies and books you need. Also, try the Wilton web site.

Do you know of an edible flower that is orange?
My friend had a salad with an orange flower and she cannot seem to find out what it is.
Do you know of an edible flower that is orange?
Marigold
Daylily
Nasturtium
Calendula
Squash (zucch or any other)
All are edible. The easiest way to find out what they look like is a google images search with just the flower name.
I would bet it's Nasturtium. They're the ones that non-gardeners would eat most easily, they grow easily, they wash up easily, and I've seen them in salads at restaurants.
Daylilies aren't usually used in salads. They're often dried and used as the "golden needles" in your hot and sour soup. I collect them from my garden for that purpose.
Squash are HUGE. They're more often battered and fried. If in salad, they'd be sliced, I think.
Calendula and marigold are usually used as petals sprinkled over the top, unless they're decorative. I can't imagine eating one of those whole!
Reply:Marigolds are edible and some varieties are very orange.

Daylily
Nasturtium
Calendula
Squash (zucch or any other)
All are edible. The easiest way to find out what they look like is a google images search with just the flower name.
I would bet it's Nasturtium. They're the ones that non-gardeners would eat most easily, they grow easily, they wash up easily, and I've seen them in salads at restaurants.
Daylilies aren't usually used in salads. They're often dried and used as the "golden needles" in your hot and sour soup. I collect them from my garden for that purpose.
Squash are HUGE. They're more often battered and fried. If in salad, they'd be sliced, I think.
Calendula and marigold are usually used as petals sprinkled over the top, unless they're decorative. I can't imagine eating one of those whole!
Reply:Marigolds are edible and some varieties are very orange.
Reply:daylilies
Reply:Tiger lilies are orange and edible. They are often used closed (so they're pointy).
Reply:Definetely orange nasturtium. You stick it in the middle of a "window pane" shaped pasta/ravioli and it looks beautiful
Reply:If it was recently, it could have been zuchini flowers. They're in season
Reply:nasturtium
Reply:Nasturtiums are edible. Here's a photo.

Reply:I saw Narsturtium, an edible orange flower found in salad commonly.
Reply:nasturtium...not sure I would eat it though.

There are lots of beneficial qualities for herbs and flowers but you have to know what you are doing and be careful. You are best referring to experts in the field. Read Jekka McVicar's book - she's an expert on herbs and their uses - everything from making herbal teas to hand lotions. She's also got a website I've detailed at the end of this answer. DON'T, whatever you do, listen to anyone who tells you here how to make something and just go and take their word and do it. Many plants are highly toxic.
Reply:Look mate this is really serious.
YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT YOU ARE DOING ANS IF YOU TRY AND EAT STUFF WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU CAN EASILY END UP DEAD OR HURT REAL BAD.
Yes ailments CAN be cured and many medicines come from plants along with may addictive substances and poisons.
Likewise to extract a medicine you may have to do lots of treatments or its poison.
Just like certain parts of a plant may be safe and others poison. Like rubarb.
Stalks make nice puddings, leaves poison...
Certain plants are hard to tell between the good and deadly ones especailly mushrroms.
the death cap looks almost the same as the magic type... one lick on the bad type you need an multi organ transplant and you die in agony over days.
So DON'T ask this here go to herbal stores and get books out and learn... it takes years to get good at this
So not DIY stuff.

Where can I get candy in the shape of flowers?
We want to make dirt cake in the shape of a flower bed and have edible flowers to make it look real. We generally use silk flowers but is there some edible ones? We aslo use gummy worms.
Where can I get candy in the shape of flowers?
You can make them yourself. If you want to use chocolate. Get a flower mold and use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. Pour the chocolate in the mold, add a stick if you want, and let cool completely and they will just pop out. OH! before I forget, rub some cooking oil in the mold before pouring.

What can I use instead of egg whites to make sugar coated flowers?
I have edible flowers and I 'd like to coat them with sugar. I saw on the food network that you coat them with a little egg white and water first. I don't want to use raw egg whites and I don't have powder egg whites on hand. Any suggestions?
What can I use instead of egg whites to make sugar coated flowers?
honey or corn syrup maybe??
Reply:Egg substitute watered down. It's pasteurized, so you don't have the same risks as with raw egg whites.

you defy the recipe..
PS what difference
I have never see powdered whites..
It sounds redundant

Are the flowers on a basil plant edible?
Hey,
Just wonderin' if anyone knows whether or not you can eat the flowering part of the basil plant. I was so busy this last week that I wasn't able to keep up with some stuff in my garden. Well, my basil plant went crazy and got all covered in flowers/pods or whatever they are and I just wondered if I need to just cut them all off and throw them away or if they can be eaten. I don't want to leave them on, because I don't want the plant to go to seed yet. So I will be cutting them all off in a day or two - hopefully they are useful too -- I hate to waste them.
Thanks for your help. Hopefully I can reach someone who actually knows about this??
Are the flowers on a basil plant edible?
The herb leaves as you know are edible....and the stems and seed pods can be used for their oil.....the oil is a aid in healing acne and arthritis. I know for a fact that is works on acne, as my kids have used it, never tried it for arthritis.
There isn't any reason that I have read that they are harmful to eat but I imagine the taste would be more bitter.
Reply:I have always loved my herb garden and have things there that would amaze you.... Report It
Reply:They sure are, I use them all the time. A bit sharper a flavor than the leaves, but very good. Keep pinching them off to extend the life of the plant but don't let them go to waste.
Reply:I have never eaten the flowers.But I do use the flowers to make into Pot Pourri, with other herbs.They say the flowers keep flies away.There are two or more forms these days.Sweet Basil, Bush Basil, and I've seen a purple variety.The Sweet Basil is best for outdoors.The French valmorin is the best indoors, and has a particularly delicious flavor.But if you can get hold of the -Illustrated Book of Herbs, byGilda Daisley.Published by Book Club Associates, you'll learn much more. Good Luck!

How come flowers are not edible but fruits are?
Fruits form from flowers don't they?
How come flowers are not edible but fruits are?
some flowers are edible. nasturtiums, for example, are great on salads, although they have fairly little taste.
fruits are the ovaries of flowers. the flower is pollinated, and the ovary starts to grow, eventually ripening into a tasty fruit. most flowers won't hurt you much, although they might taste bad and make you a little sick to your stomach.
Reply:Any question worth answering is worth taking a moment to verify your facts. This would result in a source link for others to refer to, so they can check the accuracy of your statements and get additional information.

Reply:Some flowers are great...nasturtiums are used in salads.
Reply:I just watched a show about decorating your food with edible flowers. I don't remember which flowers were used but I was surprised at how many of them were edible.
Reply:Fruit-bearing plants propagate themselves by having their seeds dispersed. A fruit is often attractive and edible so that somebody will take it away, eat the fruit and disperse the seeds. Even if you swallow the seeds they are usually tough enough to get through your digestive system. The flowers are intended to be attractive to the pollinating insects: if the flowers were consumed instead of pollinated, the seeds would not be formed and the plant would have failed in that regard. Even so, there are many edible varieties of flower, although I would guess they are only a minority.
Reply:Some flowers are indeed edible and very delicious. Try nasturiums, both leaves and flowers. Violas, rose hips and petals and daylily flowers are also edible. There are many more. Check your local library for books on the subject.
Reply:Yes, but many flowers are made out of the same stuff as leaves, which we can't digest. We can still eat most of them, but we gain no energy and they taste like crud. Fruits, though, are rich with simpler sugars, which we both eat and like the tastte of. You see, it is not a matter of what we can eat but of what we feel like eating.

Purple carrots?edible flowers?
I planted purple carrots are they healthier then the orange kind?Are edible flowers healthy?
Purple carrots?edible flowers?
Purple carrots contain anthocyanins, pigments that act as powerful antioxidants, grabbing and holding on to harmful free radicals in the body. Anthocyanins also help prevent heart disease by slowing blood clotting.
Surprisingly, purple and yellow carrots were grown and eaten as long ago as 900 AD in Afghanistan. People began cultivating orange carrots only about 400 years ago, and most of the world eats them today.
Edible flowers contain vitamin C as well as vitamin A
and many of the pigmentation substances such as beta carotene. Here is a great site that lists the nutritional values for various edible flowers:

Maybe a Whole Foods Market if you are near one.

Reply:Unless you are going to build a green house your lizard will have to learn to eat other stuff.
Reply:You gotta be a first!!!! In all my days, I have never heard of somebody wanting dandelions. I wonder if you could grow em indoors. If you could get the little puffy seeds, then put em in a big flat planter in the house. As far as the lizard being picky, I believe even starving humans will eat vienna sausages. So a little hunger strike probably wont hurt the lizzie. And who knows, maybe it will cultivate a taste for something else. Good luck.
Reply:I would get some other greens into her diet, have you tried hand feeding her? She is still eating crickets right? Dandelion flowers alone are not nutritionally adequate for a Uromastyx. make sure the basking temp is proper, 105-115 deg. depending on age, and that the light is on for no more than 12 hours a day. heat and light effect eating patterns in reptiles.
Reply:Mate my backyard is full of them, you can actually get a dandeloin syrup from the health food shop that might help your lizard, otherwise just investigate the locals gardens, I'm sure they'd be only too willing to help you, maybe your neighbours have some and would be willing to part with them, just ask, I'm sure they'd only be too happy to help!
