Edible flower

A number of plant species have flowers that can be consumed safely, in some cases only in small portions or specific parts. Otherwise they may be poisonous.

Certain flowers may be eaten as vegetables, used to make drinks, or as a flavoring. Notable flower products include artichokes, broccoli, capers, and saffron. Flowers are part of many regional cuisines, especially those of Eurasia.
