What Are Edible Flowers (No Misprint!)?

I found this information on a cooking site, I hope it helps you. "Bean blossoms have a sweet, beany flavor. Nasturtiums have a wonderfully peppery flavor similar to watercress and their pickled buds can be substituted for more expensive capers. Borage tastes like cucumber, and miniature pansies (Johny-Jump-Ups) have a mild wintergreen taste.

Violets, roses and lavender lend a sweet flavor to salads or desserts. Bright yellow calendulas are an economic alternative to expensive saffron, though not quite as pungent. Other flowers may have a spicy or peppermint flavor.

When in doubt, taste, but first be sure it's not poisonous. "

This a quick list of edible flowers:

pansy, nasturtiums, borage, roses, mustard flowers, squash flower, violets (viola odorata), and calendula (true calendula, not marigolds which are a tagetes species).

sunflower seeds, but they are seeds! LOL. In our country, tamarind flower is included in a soup, together with meat and other vegetables.
