GET FANCY WITH EDIBLE SPRING FLOWERS

In anticipation of spring in full bloom, pretty up your food presentation, expand your ingredient list and impress your guests with edible blossom recipes. You can use flower petals as a regular ingredient in salads, desserts, cocktails and more! For inspiration and knowledge about foraging for flowers and other plants to eat check out Eat The Weeds. For some beginning recipes try a Rose Petal Martini or a Strawberry Begonia Salad. Roses (soft, light, sweet) and Begonias (citrus, tangy) are good flowers to experiment with because while still a novelty, their flavors are familiar to our palates and easy to incorporate. And though flowers are back in high food fashion, beware to select organic flowers and not to eat the un-edible flowers!
