Fabulos five! Edible flowers…

I love flowers and I love eating. In my garden, I try to combine these loves. Here are my favorites.

  1. Pansies – Make these lollipops, or use them in a salad
  2. Nasturtium (Oostindische kers) – This stunning garnish is so easy to grow! Use it in this salad.

  3. Chive flowers – a real pungent tasty treat, your can make your own chive flower vinegar. I like mixing them into garlic butter. The purple specks are tasty and pretty.
  4. Lavender – makes for a subtle flavored sugar for baking
  5. Borage – this used to grow in my mum’s garden, lovely in this salad and such a beautiful blue color!
