Are carnation flowers edible?

serious question. i can remember someone telling me when i was little that they were. its just i bought some yesterday, i wasn't going to eat them..lol, but it reminded me of what i was told and now i'm curious.

Are carnation flowers edible?
Yes, although I wouldn't eat any that came from the florist (dyes, preservatives, etc.); for more information, check out www.whatscookingamerica.com
Reply:yes you can use them in cake decoration
Reply:yes, but flick your bean while you munch
Reply:why would you eat them lol dont you have nomal food where you come from
Reply:Yeah, if your a rabbit! lol
Reply:They can, and a local woman (local to me) has opened a café which serves dishes based on edible flowers, though I would certainly not eat ones destined for the florists, since they will contain lots of nasty pesticides etc.
