Roses
Certain types of Roses are known for their strong floral scent. And if you’re wondering what they taste like, they have a subtle and fruity flavor! They work well in many dishes, from jams and desserts to soups. All Roses are edible.
However, their tastes vary depending on their type and growing conditions. Be sure to remove the white portion of their petals because they will taste more bitter.
And only use Roses that were 100 percent grown for eating and not for decorative use.
Violets
Most violets are edible. But the yellow varieties have been known to cause stomach problems. And African violets aren’t true violets and are poisonous, so stay away from those!
Violets from North America have less flavor than the European kind, which works best in dessert recipes like puddings and cakes.
The less sweet types make lovely additions to salads and smoothies, and ALL can be used to brew a lovely blue-green tea thought to help with pain relief, insomnia, and coughs.
