In his seventh book, Blomstermat, Peter Streijffert advises on the flowers that are suitable for food and drink.
Many more flowers than you think are edible and can be used in all kinds of ways; as an ornament, ingredient, garnish or spice. After all, we don't just eat with our mouths but also with our eyes, so flowers can do wonders for the experience of food! Plus, they're good for our pollinators. So decorate your baked goods, drinks and salads with edible flowers such as roses, aniseed, lilacs and lavender. Discover new flavorings. Stepmother violet has a taste reminiscent of mint, fennel flowers taste aniseed, lavender has a more perfumey touch, elderflowers taste super fresh fruitiness and pansies have an herbal note.
Cornflowers, borage, roses and violets are especially good for candies. You can make dandelion wine, elderberry bubbly, hibiscus cream or geranium liqueur. Musk madra can be turned into a wonderful white wine sauce. When was the last time you ate it? Discover nature's pantry, grow the tasty flowers and go hunting among the summer meadows!
