Did you know there are some flowers you can eat? And they are delicious! As summer approaches at the Urban Farm, there are a variety of tasty flowers in bloom. Keep your eye out for these unassuming treats as you meander through the farm.
Borage: This is a flower you might be familiar with by now if you have spent much time in the garden. It grows and spreads profusely after being introduced to a garden. The little indigo blooms are edible and have a mildly sweet taste. Make sure to only eat the petals and avoid the stem, which is rough and fuzzy.
Daylily: These are some of the best edible flowers, in my humble opinion. The petals are large and fleshy, and they taste super sweet! Tear off one petal for a taste, or eat the whole flower for a great snack.
Nasturtium: This annual flower is not sweet, as you might expect it to be. It is instead deliciously peppery. The soft crunch is oh so satisfying.
