Edible Flowers
Specialty produce is subject to availability
Edible flowers are flowers that can be eaten. Edible flowers may be preserved for future use using techniques such as drying, freezing or steeping in oil. They can be used in drinks, jellies, salads, soups, syrups and main dishes. Flower-flavoured oils and vinegars are made by steeping edible flower petals in these liquids. Candied flowers are crystallized using egg white and sugar (as a preservative).

Stoage

» Store in a sealed container away from drafts from the cooler fan

Handling

» Rotate frequently to maintain optimum quality.

» Avoid placing the case or raw product on non-sanitized kitchen counter tops to help prevent the potential for cross contamination.
