For those of us with a passion for sweet scents and bright colors, vases or gardens filled with flowers are a prominent display in our homes. With petals that furl and unfurl, glowing and glistening under the beams of the sun, tulips, roses and other chromatic clusters make the whole world ever so luminescent. To add to the incredibility of the many floral fixtures of nature, there are some flowers that mix their flowery fragrance with some truly surprising tastes and tangs.
Edible flowers aren’t a frequent occurrence in grocery stores, but some common vegetables like asparagus and cabbage technically also fall under this category. However, they are not alone. Aside from the better-known blooms like fennel and rosemary that often find their way into our dinner, there is a wide variety of absolutely beautiful flowers that also pack a punch in terms of flavor, from sweet to spicy! Care to have your day deliciously dazzled? Take a look at this gorgeously yummy flowers.
