Eating Edible Flowers
By Amanda Baker, Tue Jan 10th
After a family member's recent stay in the hospital, you findyourself with a whole houseful of flowers. You've heard of usingflowers to decorate dishes or for use in recipes. However,before you go plucking the petals off the flowers in thosearrangements, there are a few things that you need to know. Flowers that are said to be edible are only edible if they areeither grown organically or treated with organic pesticides likethose used on fruits or vegetables. Flowers that are fromflorists, nurseries or garden centers are grown for decorationonly. They're usually chemically treated either by fertilizersor pesticides. They aren't safe to be eaten unless you know forcertain that they've been maintained organically. Do not eatflowers growing on the side of the road! The chemicals used tomaintain roadside conditions are deadly and the emissions fromcars contaminate the flowers growing there. Your safest methodis to grow the flowers yourself,
so that you know with acomplete certainty what's gone into growing the flowers. Although a flower may be edible, it may not be palatable to somepeople's tastes. What might taste good to you may not taste evenslightly appealing to someone close to you. Also keep individualallergies in mind before testing out a recipe. A littleconsideration goes a long, long way and could save you a trip tothe hospital.
Before cooking with or eating edible flowers, remember to onlyeat the petals. The pistils and stamens of a flower should notbe consumed. Until you've tested the effects of a single flower,it's best not to ingest large quantities of any blossom, nomatter how safe it may seem at the time. Some of the most common flowers said to be edible are appleblossoms, carnations, chrysanthemums, dandelions, geraniums,marigolds, honeysuckle,pansies, tulips - even lillies and roses!There are so many more edible flowers out there, and recipes areavailable all over the internet. There are also cookbooksdevoted solely to using these beautiful blooms. So, the next time you've got some freshly cut flowers serving asa centerpiece for your company, you might want to reach up andhave a little snack - as long as no one is watching!
