Edible

For those of you looking to up your culinary life, flavor your teas or add some color to your favorite dishes, here is a guide to assist you along your edible adventure. Not every is safe to eat. Make sure you have a positive ID first before you sample. Do not consume flowers that were produced commercially as they were most likely grown with toxic pesticides. Flowers found along roadside may also be unsafe to consume because of car exhaust/pollution. Treat edible flowers just like vegetables, wash before using. For some flowers it’s best to rip off the stamen and styles (reproductive parts of the flower) before eating.
