Edible Flowers (Organic) - Seed kit

Beautiful, fragrant flowers are rarely used in the kitchen, even though they usually have a very fine and more gentle aroma than the rest of the plant and can very well be used as spices. Added to this the beauty factor, which is why flowers are used as decoration rather than as a fully-fledged ingredient.

The 'edible flowers' set contains organic flower seeds for plants that can be used in many different ways as a side dish in salads, soups, desserts and of course drinks such as cocktails or a simple herbal tea:

• Borage (Borago officinalis)
  The leaves and flowers are freshly used a typical spice for cucumber salad, curd cheese and cream cheese preparations as well as an integral part of the 'Frankfurt Green Sauce'.
• Lemon marigold (Tagetes tenuifolia)
  Both the flowers and the fern-like fine leaves have a fine citrus aroma, which ennobles salads and especially desserts.
• Nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus)
  This annual climbing plant produces a sea of large, yellow and orange flowers. Their taste is surprisingly spicy and cress like.
• Marigold(Calendula officinalis)
  Uncomplicated, colourful medicinal plant that has an anti-inflammatory effect and promotes wound healing. In addition, however, it has many other outstanding qualities.
