Flowers have long held a place in our hearts for their visual splendor, but did you know they can also be stars in your kitchen?
The art of using edible flowers for culinary purposes isn't new. In fact, it's a practice deeply rooted in history. The Romans knew the secret of enhancing their feasts with the beauty and taste of these floral wonders. In the Middle Ages, petals were incorporated into hearty stews and sweet confections, infusing meals with nature's elegance. Across continents, culinary traditions have embraced the art of flower cookery, where blooms have been candied, pickled and used as garnishes.
