Edible Flowers

From: "The Backyard Homestead"

Nasturtiums...You can eat everything on them...

Many Flowers not only are lovely to look at, but they also add delicate texture or taste to foods. Use them as garnishes or to decorate a cake. Some favorites are borage, calendula, chive blossoms, clove pinks, elderflowers, lavender, mints, nasturtium, rose petals, and violets. Larger flowers, such as daylilies and squash blossoms, may be stuffed or fried. For culinary purposes, be sure to us organicaly grown flowers that are free from pesticides.

Echinacea, or Cone Flower...
