edible-flowers-10-may-2009The best source for edible flowers is your local farmers’ market. The options usually better than what’s at the grocery stores and you can talk to vendors to make sure they grow their flowers in a way that’s safe for you to eat. You don’t want to accidentally eat a flower that’s not edible… I’m not sure what it would do to you but it can’t be good. You may turn purple or pink or something, who knows.

 

If you don’t have a famers’ market near by, look for edible flowers in the produce section of your grocery store. You can also order edible flowers online. Shops like Gourmet Sweet Botanicals is a great place to buy them online! They even ship overnight so you don’t have to worry about freshness.
