Use these edible flower recipes to make beautiful and delicious treats for your family.

There’s nothing quite as lovely and inviting as a bundle of fresh-cut blooms gracing the family meal table. I love them so much that I started my own little roadside business selling fresh-cut flowers and persuaded — possibly begged, maybe even nagged — my dear and gracious husband to expand my garden plots into his lush green grass to accommodate more posies. It’s incredible how a bouquet of flowers on the table can make even leftovers feel special. But flowers aren’t just another pretty face at the table. Many varieties of flowers can please our taste buds as well.

Blossoms like lavender or rose can add a heady floral tone to some of our favorite beverages or comfort foods. The deliciously tart hibiscus flower will not only make a dish more savory, but can also add a glorious pink hue to any dish it’s added to. The vibrant color and peppery flavor of the nasturtium makes it an excellent addition to salads. And the light flavor of the sweet pansy flower makes it adaptable to a wide variety of dishes.
