Not your usual fruit and vegetables
It had never occurred to me to eat flowers until I dated
a girl who placed nasturtiums and borage flowers in a salad.
The colours really appetized the meal and I found myself looking
forward to having salads. Nasturtiums have a peppery flavour
and they certainly look great on the plate. And another big
plus about using flowers in your meal is children love eating
flowers. I've watched children have great fun eating a meal
when flowers are part of the menu. If you haven't tried nasturtiums
and borage flowers in your food before, I highly recommend
you try it.
I will research other edible flowers and report on flavours
here with regular updates...
