Edible Flowers are flowers that can be eaten. Edible flowers may be preserved for future use using techniques such as drying, freezing or steeping in oil. They can be used in drinks, jellies, salads, soups, syrups and main dishes. Flower-flavoured oils and vinegars are made by steeping edible flower petals in these liquids. Candied flowers are crystallized using egg white and sugar (as a preservative).

Common Edible Flowers:

• Artichoke (flower bud)
• Broccoli (flower buds)

I’m skeptical about lilacs, but brief research indicates the chrysanthemum tip is legit. A useful way to extend edible flower season into the autumn if you don’t mind making yourself unpopular with the neighbours.
