Flowers

Flowers are such evocative and beautiful exxpressions of joy, passion, danger and life. May of them are edible and add colour, flavour and nutrition to foods. In most cases the centre part of the flower is bitter so always remove that part and only use the petals. Be sure they have not been sprayed with pesticides - only use flowers that you have grown yourself or can trust their safety. Some flowers are poisonous so always check you have identified the flower first before eating.
