Reply:I'm not sure what type they are, but I know my grocery store sells them in the herb section. I wouldn't suggest trying to pick your own or get them from the florist. Here's a few recipes I found also. As for recipes, I think they're mostly used as garnish.

Remember when eating flowers to remove the pollen stems as they are not tasty and can in some cases make you ill. Flowers are great as an addition to salads, sandwiches, as cake decoration, sauce enhancement and of course jellies. Also make sure you obtain flowers that were organically grown and rinse well with a vegetable wash or 1 tablespoon white vinegar in 1 gallon cold water and use a salad spinner to dry. Good Luck!
Reply:Sometimes you can find "salad" flowers pre-packaged with the other packaged herbs at the grocery store. They usuall contain nasturtiums, carnations and roses.
