Did you know that ROSES are actually edible?
Since ancient times they have appeared at feasting tables as bouquets AND as food. The flavors of roses are as unique as the colors. Some say they taste like green apples, some say they taste spicy. The sweet, tart or spicy petals are easy to use & popular additions to any kitchen whether they’re on the plate or in a vase!
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS!!! Select fresh roses that are organically grown!
Light colored roses are more sweet in flavor rather than darker colored roses which have a heavier aroma and flavor. Taste a rose petal to decide where it belongs on your menu.
Make sure you wash your roses gently with cool water. Blot them dry with paper towels. Pull petals out from the base of the bud & discard any blemished petals. Use the petals immediately or store in your fridge in a plastic bag. To guarantee freshness and best possible flavor, use them within a few days.
