Fresh edible flowers black and white photos
This journal entry features black and white macro lens photographs of fresh edible flowers. I found a container of these in my local supermarket. Not my usual organic ‘found’ subject matter. Nonetheless, they ended up in my shopping trolly. A photography experiment for later on in my day.
What types of flowers are edible?
With a little online research I was able to identify the flowers I had purchased.
And here’s a list of the assorted edible flowers:
- Dianthus
- Violas
- Nasturtium
- Calendula
- Pansy
I loved this Gardening Australia video ‘Edible Flowers”. Costa Georgiadis takes a look at some flowers that not only look good – they taste good too! Enjoy.
Recommended care instructions
The instructions mentioned that to in order to preserve freshness I must keep them refrigerated at all times, ideally between 4-6c. Washing the flowers wasn’t recommended as it may bruise the petals. However, I could simply brush them gently.
Following along with the instructions on the packaging the flowers should last between 5-21 days, most commonly 10 days throughout the year. Some varieties such as Calendula will last 21 days in ideal conditions.
