My flower garden never lives up to my, or anyone else's expectations. In fact, it is a running joke between my husband and friends. It either looks sparse and out of proportion or really messy. Well, this year I will fool them all. This year I will not only have a beautiful flower garden, but also I will have an edible flower garden.
Edible flowers come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and each one has a distinct flavor.
Using them in the kitchen can make any meal come alive. There are several guidelines to follow when using edible flowers in the kitchen with food. First, you want to make sure the flowers are edible after all. If you aren't sure, check with the Poison Control Center or a local Horticultural Society. Secondly, only use flowers that you know are free from chemicals.
