Freeze dried Edible Marigolds: From Curries to Cocktails, a Floral Delight

Freeze dried edible marigolds remind everyone of the freshness of Fall with their bright beautiful colors. They have a tangy, peppery, citrus flavor. Freeze-drying preserves its color to the brightest it can be.  Because freeze-drying flowers gives these delicious flowers a shelf-life of up to a year, flavors of summer can be enjoyed even in the winter months!

Edible marigolds pair well with any recipe calling for fresh ginger root, cinnamon, and even pumpkin flavored everything! These dried edible flowers are a perfect addition to salads for summer flavor in the middle of winter. Use in any curry, Indian or Thai dish, pork recipes, or any dish using anise. Edible marigolds are amazing for fish and are a beautiful, flavorful topper for sushi! Add to any rice, lentil, and couscous dish.

Cocktail Swag: mulled wine! Enhance the flavor and look of cocktails where oranges or lemons are used as a garnish, crumble and add to sugar or salt used to rim cocktail glasses – too many uses to list! Pop an edible marigold onto a skewer and add it as a garnish to a Bloody Mary then dip that dried edible flower into the drink and enjoy the bold flavors together!

Desserts: where do you use cinnamon? Dried edible marigolds go there, too. Edible marigold flavors also blend well with any pumpkin and pumpkin spice recipes. They pair well with dessert recipes calling for orange and lemon zest. Gelatin molds are gorgeous with marigolds incorporated.
