Edible Flowers

Edible flowers are becoming increasingly popular in the culinary world as a unique and visually stunning addition to dishes. Flowers from plants such as sesbania, squash, or lily can be cooked and consumed, adding subtle flavors and interesting textures to salads, soups, and other dishes. These flowers are not just beautiful to look at, but also offer nutritional benefits. Sesbania flowers, for example, are rich in calcium, potassium, and iron, while squash blossoms contain vitamins A and C. Lily flowers are also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, providing a healthy boost to the immune system. When cooking with edible flowers, it's important to ensure that they have not been treated with any harmful pesticides or chemicals. It's also recommended to consume them in moderation as some people may be allergic to certain types of flowers.
