3 kl viooltje eetb

Not only leaf, root and seeds of some plants are edible, also the flower. Usually only the edible petals, the flower base sometimes, not the stem (which is often bitter).
Buy or just pick flowers that are grown without pesticides. Don’t pick out along busy roads or industrial zones. Also monoculture fields (and the edges) are usually sprayed. Wash picked in the wild flowers before you eat them.
You can use them fresh or dried.


The most common edible flowers, which also offer some volume, of course are cauliflower, broccoli and artichoke.
