5 Companion Flowers That You Can Eat

Nothing says "gourmet" like a sprinkling of colorful flower petals in a salad, a little bouquet of Johnny's heels on a birthday cake, or a sautéed lily bud in a stir fry. Edible flowers are a fun and easy way to add color and flavor to all kinds of dishes, especially when you can harvest them right from your own garden.

Most edible flowers are best eaten raw, simply cut them open and rinse with water. Flowers will taste and look best right after they open, not after they've been open for a few days.

In this Project Diaries video, you'll discover the benefits of growing edible companion flowers and offer many different ideas for decorating, cooking, using, drinking, and serving.

Be careful, there are many varieties of Pansy and Marigold. NOT ALL are edible. Calendula varieties are edible. Do some research or ask your seed supplier about edible varieties before eating large quantities, as some can be poisonous! Some edible flowers can be harmful in large numbers. They should only be consumed occasionally, in moderation, and introduced into the diet gradually.
