As well as adorning our homes, being beautiful and fragrant, they can also be eaten.

That's right, flowers can be eaten like any other fruit or vegetable, but let's find out which ones and how to use them.

Edible flowers: 
Jasmine, Geraniums, Mint, Roses, Hibiscus, Chervil, Chamomile, Daisies, Fennel, Citrus, Orange, Angelica, Clover, Violets, Day lilies, Saffron, Elderberry.

Very useful for decorating a special dish!

You can find them fresh in supermarkets or dried ready-to-use in specialist kitchen shops or on the web.

Or pick them in the meadows or grow them yourself!

Don't forget to put them in salads... or in all your dishes to give flavour and colour.

I leave you two risotto recipes to try, Try them the recipe can be found on the blog.

Use them in the main course first and second courses, they give the dish a nice appearance.

own style with order and neatness to make the most of it.
