When I ran across this article, I was absolutely astounded at all of the flowers that are edible! One of my favorite things is a beautiful food presentation so you can imagine a salad garnished with gorgeous, edible flowers. Garnishing with flowers makes the 'mundane' something special and we do "eat with our eyes"!
I have known that you could eat pansies and violets, but here is a list of some of the ones that surprised me:
- Chrysanthemums
- Day Lilies (see caution in article)
- Gladiolus
- Honeysuckle (flowers only, berries are poisonous)
- Impatiens
- Lilac
- Snap Dragon
Check out the article for a much more extensive list of edible flowers. Be aware that there are cautions and notes for some of the flowers so take heed.
