Where to buy edible flowers nyc

Q: Can I buy edible flowers at the grocery store?

If you dont have a farmers market nearby, look for edible flowers in the produce section (not the florist section!) of your grocery store. You can also order them online.

Q: Does Trader Joes have edible flowers?

Many Whole Foods and Trader Joes locations also sell them, but I find the quality a little sad; the flowers are usually not in great condition, lumped into one small plastic container, and they come in very small quantities—so youre better off spending more money on better flowers.

A BEAUTIFUL AND ILLUMINATING GUIDE TO THE USE AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF EDIBLE FLOWERS, FEATURING GORGEOUS ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHY, SIMPLE RECIPES AND PREPARATION METHODS, AND THOUGHTFUL ESSAYS ON EATING FLOWERS BY LEADING VOICES

This stunning guide to edible flowers–conceived by Monica Nelson, the founding creative and photo director of the influential journal Wilder Quarterly, and Adrianna Glaviano, a noted food and lifestyle photographer–is packed with information and features lush original photography.

Organizing more than 100 flowers alphabetically by their common name, the book offers in each entry handy reference notes including the flower’s Latin name, its general flavor profile, its origins, and which parts of the plant are edible, all accompanied by a vibrant photographic portrait. Punctuated by simple recipes and short, essayistic moments written by a diverse roster of celebrated chefs, artists, and writers recalling the use of edible flowers in their creative and gastronomic histories, Edible Flowers is both a practical primer and a delightful read.
