The scientific name for sunflowers is Helianthus annuus. Sunflowers are usually tall with large flower heads that contain many small flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The head is actually made up of two types of flowers: ray florets and disc florets. The ray florets are the outermost flowers and they look like petals. The disc florets are in the center of the head and are what will eventually turn into the sunflower seed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These flowers are best eaten in the bud stage when the petals are still tightly closed. The petals can be used to garnish salads, soup, or rice dishes. The bud can also be saut\u00e9ed or tempura fried.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When picking sunflowers to eat, look for flowers that have not yet opened and that have fresh-looking green stems. Avoid sunflowers that have brown or wilted petals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yanking yourself back in shape has never been so easy with our game-changing fitness app! <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Edible_Flowers\">Start transforming your life with BetterMe<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2273&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Edible_Flowers\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47334 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207762-1024x577.png\" alt=\"edible flowers\" width=\"770\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207762.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207762-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207762.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207762-1634x920.png 1634w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207762.png 1728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Violets\"><\/span><b>Violets<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorful purple violets are easy to find in the springtime, making them a great choice for edible flowers.

In recent years, chefs have been experimenting with all sorts of new ingredients, from mushrooms to sea urchin roe. But one of the latest trends to hit the culinary world is far less exotic\u2013 edible flowers.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That's right! Those pretty petals that you typically associate with bouquets and gardens are now being used to garnish dishes, add flavor, and even create colorful cocktails. And while the idea of eating flowers might sound strange at first, it's actually nothing new.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, people have been enjoying them for centuries.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Victorians were especially fond of edible flowers, using them to decorate everything from cakes to salads.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, you can find them in all sorts of dishes, from soups and starters to main courses and desserts. They might seem like a gimmick from some people\u2019s perspectives, but there's actually a lot to love about edible flowers.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few strategically placed petals can transform a <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fitness-lifestyle\/\">simple<\/a> dish into something truly special. They can also add unexpected flavor notes, like a hint of sweetness or bitterness.
