RE: Wild Spring Pancake - Shrubs, Trees, Tubers, and Weeds - with Forsythia and Maple Flowers
Ha, never knew forsythia flowers were edible, ours are still budded but, then you blink an eye and they are suddenly in full bloom! Nice post @haphazard-hstead. Resteemed.
Thanks for resteeming, @cognoscere. I am surprised every year at how fast the forsythia flowers come and go. Even in the best years! But since I learned that their flowers are edible, I try to get out and appreciate them more while they are blooming. Now their season still seems fast, but because I spend time with them, it slows down, too. They don't just flash by as a spot of yellow for a few days. It's weird, but real, lol.
Like so many plants, I'm not a fan of just eating their flowers by themselves. They are a little sweet, with a little bitter. And there is variation across plants. But it's fun to add them into salads and other food. Keep that phytonutrient density and diversity up, lol! ; )
