25 Edible Flowers That Will Add Colour, Flavour And Nutrition To Your Food

24. Pansies

These big, bright coloured flowers not only make a pretty picture, but are beneficial for your heart, kidneys and blood pressure as they’re rich in potassium and other minerals.

25. Chrysanthemums

Like chamomile, chrysanthemums are often added to tea, in China especially. These flowers are high in antioxidants and minerals and have anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.

What you need to remember:
• Eat only flowers that are known to be edible and have been grown without pesticides.
• Eat only the petals, not the stamens or filaments.
• If you are prone to allergies, then eat a little at first and watch out for any irritation.
