Edible Flowers
by Brian Nisbett on August 25th
"Cooking and dressing a dish with flowers is now fashionable after many years. Various studies show that the culinary use of flowers dates back thousands of years with the first documentd mention being around 140 B.C.
Edible flowers were also popular in the "respectable" Victorian era during Queen Victoria's rule. Today, this nearly lost craft is enjoying a rebirth in many eating establishments. Professional chefs and creative home cooks are garnishing their most favourite dishes with flower blossoms for a touch of beauty in many countries. They are a more healthy alternative to salt and sugar as added seasoning. They can also be added to dairy produce, oils and marinades or used as a garnish to add elegance, colour and flavour to most of your meals.
There are many flower blooms that can be enjoyed both fresh and cooked. It's hard to find edible flowers to purchase, but quite easy to grow most of them in your garden. Here are a wide selection of web pages that will introduce to you what flowers are available and safe to eat plus the most delicious and beautiful flowers that can be grown in your own garden."
