Blossoms for eating
Edible flowers are blossoms safe for human consumption, used to garnish dishes, flavor foods, or add color to salads and desserts.
Nasturtiums, violets, and squash blossoms are common examples.
The term distinguishes culinary flowers from ornamental ones, which may be toxic or treated with pesticides: The restaurant grows its own edible flowers.
