Have you ever eaten an edible flower?

such as daylily blooms.

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.

Reply:honeysuckles are fantastic...try one.
Reply:yes, a restaurant owned once in a while we'd feature a chrysamthemum salad and it was a good sellar for short periods of time.





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.
