Top 25 Edible Flowers to Grow in Your Garden

Edible flowers have been used in cooking for centuries, including the cultures of ancient Rome, China, the Middle East, and India. They can decorate cakes, be eaten fresh on salads, frozen in ice cubes, minced for herb butters, or made into jams and teas.
Edible flowers not only allow you to add color and beauty to dishes, but they also contain vitamins A and C. Research is beginning to investigate the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of edible flowers.
So, what are the types of flowers you can eat? Generally, the petals and whole flowers can be eaten, but remove the white base of each petal, stem, and interior part (such as the anthers and pistils) as this taste bitter.
Also, avoid flowers picked from roadsides or obtained from garden centers, florists, or nurseries as these have often been sprayed with pesticides or other chemicals. It's best to look for organic or grow your own flowers to consume, especially since most are easy low-maintenance plants and look beautiful in your garden anyway!
