Do you think cooking with flowers is something new? Not really. Cooking with flowers was already performed by ancient cultures such as the Roman, Greek and Hindu centuries. The culinary use of flowers may be because, in addition to a pleasant taste and aroma, make it really attractive food, providing color, design, fresh and unusual flavors.

Countless flowers are used in the kitchen, some of the main are the pink magnolia, violet, carnation, jasmine, orange blossom, mallow, marjoram, nasturtium, pansy, pumpkin, Jamaica, etc . All of them are used freshly cut and cultured in special greenhouses that have no insecticides.

Here are some recipes with flowers so you can surprise your discerning diners.

Important note: do not under any circumstances consume flowers of florist floral shops as are added preservatives which are actually toxic to our food. The best thing is that we sow and we cut the flowers in our garden or in a flowerpot. If this is not possible, find special flowers to eat.
