Looking for a simple way to combine the delights of your garden with the pleasures of your table? Try growing edible flowers. Not only do they look great, but they are tasty too and even have various health benefits. Here is a list of 5 easy to grow edible plants to help you get started.

Lavender

Not only does lavender look pretty and have a calming fragrance, but it tastes great too. Its sweet and spicy flavor goes well with both savory and sweet dishes.

Pansy

Pansies come in a great variety of vibrant colors and will lighten up any garden as well as any dish. But these little flowers don’t only look fresh, they taste great too. Their salty, peppery flavor especially complements cabbages, carrots, and fish dishes.

Rose

One of the world’s favorite flowers for their beautiful colors and lovely fragrance, the rose is also a wonderful addition to drinks and deserts.

Calendula

Flowering all through spring and summer, the Calendula flower has a tangy, citrus flavor that is great for offsetting the sweetness of cakes and deserts.

Fennel

Fennel has a strong licorice, aniseed flavor that can complement a great variety of dishes. While it might not be to everyone’s taste, it can be used to season yogurt, meat, fish, and cheese.

Not only are they beautiful flowers can add a very fresh and subtle flavor to any dish. Particularly with a hot dish, such as spaghetti or sea bass, a few squash blossoms can add a freshness to contrast the rich nature of the dish. The most common flowers to eat will make your garden beautiful and are fairly easy to take care of as well.

Borage flowers need sunlight and water but if you make sure they are steadily taken care of they produce beautiful small flowers. The borage flower has a very subtle and light flower of freshness that will not cloud any flavors of your dish.

Zucchini flowers are a heartier flower and are able to absorb flavors and spices of a dish as though they have been marinated. Zucchini flowers can also be used as a beautiful shell, like a pita pocket, for a roasted filling. Flowers are a beautiful way to enhance a meal while also staying healthy and fresh!
