When we come to pick flowers from our domestic garden, one should bring into consideration thatthose flowers that have multiple uses - Edible Flowers. much like the spice weeds that we know of,edible flowers add flavour and shade to food and they're colorfulness is great : sweet,bitter,hot and sour,perfumed and more. what else is that clearly they make the dish and meal much more aesthetic(for we as humans eat primarily with our eyes).
however, before you go on with your harvest, remember this :
not every beautiful , fragrant flower is edible.flower may be combined in cooking only when we are comletley positive that they are edibleand NOT Toxic, Dont Eat flowers picked up on the side of the road. one may presume that these flowershave gotten sprinkled by insecticides and other toxic materials. if you have astma or allergies be carefulwhen you eat flowers and do so in very small quantities, step by step. check which part of a flower is ediblesome of them you can eat whole , while for others , only the petals are edible.
