Plants good to eat posted by on April 13, 2011

Edible flowers that are brought home from nurseries and garden centers are not safe to eat or use on or near food products unless they have been grown organically or sustainably (without toxins). There can be made a list of flowers that are safe to eat.Certain flowers are a great source of vitamins and minerals. There is dandelion wine, herbal vinegars and herbal oils that are made from flowers. Have you heard of eating a fried squash blossom? Some of the larger blooms of yellow squash and zucchini can be stuffed and fried.
To be safe, remove the pollen-bearing parts of each edible flower (the pistils and stamens). I can bet that you didn’t know that are so many plants that are safe to eat.
