Health /Food Info : Having your fragrance, eating it too

Relaxing in a restaurant after placing an
order, it feels wonderful if you are
served a beautiful salad with flower
petals scattered around the plate or a
cake decorated with flowers on top.
For sure it adds to not just the beauty of the
dish but also serves as an unusual ingredient
which will enhance the taste of it. You read it
right, Flowers are known not just for their
fragrance but also their taste. And now with
Onam- the Festival of Flowers here, how can
the soft petals be given a miss while playing

In regions such as the Middle East, Eastern
Europe and India, floral-based water such as
rosewater and orange flower water are used
to flavour candies, meats and beverages. The
subtle fragrance in the dish makes it that much more delectable.

Edible flowers have been a rage in haute

people consuming flowers was as far back as
140 BC! Of course, what one does miss out on is that broccoli, cauliflower, artichokes and
broccoflower are all flowers or saffron is also the stamen from crocus flower!
