Many of the most striking ‘ornamental’ plants are also some of the tastiest. Edible flowers not only add vivid color, but also sweet, tangy, peppery and citrus flavors to salads, desserts and even drinks.

NASTURTIUM

Adds sweet & peppery flavor to salads and the buds can also be pickled

 

 

VIOLA

Sweet perfumed flavor great in salads or to decorate drinks & frosted cakes

 

 

MARIGOLD

Adds a spicy, citrus flavor to salads

 

BACHELOR'S BUTTON

Has a sweet, spicy, clovelike flavor perfect for use as a garnish

 

 

CALENDULA

Adds spicy, tangy and peppery flavors to soups and rice & pasta dishes

 

DIANTHUS

Has a clove/Nutmeg like flavor used to decorate cakes and steep in wine.
