Some important tips:
If you’re in any doubt as to whether or not a flower is edible – don’t eat it. It’s a simple rule of thumb, but effective. Also, if you have pollen allergies, you might want to avoid eating edible flowers altogether.
Do not pick faded, dusty, old or discolored flowers in your garden.
Do not treat your edible flowers with pesticides. Instead, if you have problems with pests, cut the flower back and encourage regrowth instead.
Here are some of the edible flowers:
Dahlia – Flavors range from water chestnut and spicy apple to carrot.
Hibiscus – Great addition to fruit salads or to make a citrus-flavored tea.
Magnolia – The young flowers can be pickled or used fresh in salads.
Nasturtium – Tasting peppery, like watercress, these make a lovely salad addition.
Viola & Pansy – Mild and fresh-tasting, they’re great in a green salad or as a garnish.
Rose – Lovely in drinks, fruit dishes, jams, and jellies thanks to its delicate fragrance.
Cape Jasmine – Extremely fragrant, they’re ideal for pickling, preserving, and baking.
