The raw petals have a slightly bitter taste. The blue flowers add a distinctive scent to soups and stews. The blossoms can be used as edible cups for sorbets, sweet or savory mousses or minced vegetables. White, peach or pink blooms look great stuffed with a chocolate mousse. Great tossed in salads or frozen in ice cubes.
Blossoms are good in salads or use the syrup for an exotic flavored lemonade.
Separate the petals from the bitter center parts.
