12 Edible Flowers and How to Cook with Them
As y'all know, I love gardening. In fact, my daughter and I take great joy in cultivating our little Backyard Farm we keep updating you on. For the most part we grow vegetables, but we also have gorgeous roses bushes and bulbs that deliver beautiful flowers throughout the year, which we snip and display around the house or bring to school for teacher. These colorful little blossoms bring a little dose of happiness wherever they go, and growing and using them is a great activity for bonding with your children and teaching them about nature and where food comes from. This year we are also cultivating some edible flowers that we can use to display, cook with, and even give away as little gifts. Let me tell you about 12 Edible Flowers you can grow at home, what they taste like, and how to use these edible flowers in your recipes in a variety of ways here: 12 Edible Flowers You can Grow at Home and How to Use Them.
I know there are so many more edible flowers, tell us what we missed in the comments!

Thanks for the link - I've got it pinned now! Next summer I want to plant edible flowers with my girl (she'll be almost 2 next summer) and then bake things with them with her!
I have eaten a type of hibiscus and it goes great on salads! It's kinda spicy.

What an amazing idea! Totally bookmarking for next spring to plan my garden. You know what else I love besides the specific uses you mentioned? I won't have to worry as much about whether my son is going to eat a flower petal if I know they're edible! (I'll of course have to double check that the ones intended to be eaten cooked are safe raw. Lol!)
Love it! They are sooo pretty too :) Maybe if I'd stick to a diet of flowers & leaves I'd drop those pesky post-baby pounds....LOL!!
Would like to reprint your article in HL MAG Massachusetts - Can we chat mmamet@verizon.net
