I have a sage plant, it is blooming nice purple flowers, can I eat the flowers, or use them for garnish?

Seems like if I can eat the plant, the flowers should be edible too, but does anyone know for sure, before I poison myself?

Yes, it seems you can. "Sage (Salvia officinalis) -- Try sliding some culinary sage flowers under the skin of turkey or chicken, along with a few sprigs of rosemary. The flowers have a warm, herby flavor with a hint of heat. Toss orange slices and fennel with sage flowers and slivered sage leaves."
Reply:just use for garnish
Reply:don't know, what did you spray or fertilize the plant with?
Reply:Most plants must be consumed by the bushel full to poison yourself. Go ahead and try them...if they don't taste good don't eat them. Best wishes
Reply:Sage flowers are edible, yes.
