Some flowers not only look good, they taste good, too. Angela O'Callaghan tells us how you can use ornamental flowers to add some real color to your meals.
Disclaimers first:
Never eat flowers that have been treated with pesticides.
Some flowers are dangerously poisonous. Among them, oleander, lantana, jasmine, datura and all members of the tobacco/tomato family.
Nasturtiums and Dianthus can be spicy and add a kick to your salad. You might want to use sparingly.
Other edible flowers - Marigolds, Roses, Pansies and Violets.
