With flavors ranging from peppery to sweet, many common flowers can add flavor, color, and excitement to salads; edible decoration to cupcakes and desserts; or an unusual twist to drinks when frozen in ice cubes or turned into simple syrups! There are many lists available of edible flowers on the interwebs (just a few are pictured here), as well as recipes and tips for identification and use.
