RE: Squash blossom Kale and Beetroot Omlette Beakfast
This looks amazing! I love squash blossoms. Especially of yellow summer squash. I'm not having the best luck actually getting any squash off my plants this year, although there are flowers! So, maybe I should just start eating the flowers. I wonder if the flowers of butternut squash are edible?
Also, I've never seen beets eating with eggs. That's super interesting. I usually just eat beets as simply boiled, or pickled. Haven't been very adventurous with beets but it's one of my favorite veggies to grow.
On top of that, your pictures are amazing, as well. Great post! Thank you for sharing. I've resteemed so I can come back to your recipe later.
Thank you @phedizzlea and also sorry for my late answer. It was a busy week. Yes, I think that the butternut squash blossom are also edible. Read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_blossom You'll see that squash blossom is a Cucurbita species, and also if you look up on wikipedia at butternut squash, they also belong to Cucurbita species. So, they both are edible flowers of Cucurbita species. Honestly, this was my first time when I had beets with eggs and it was great. The beets were crunchy and everything gave a sort of 'balance' to the omlette. It was like eating some type of food with eggs, nut omlette. It was super good, for me at least. I love boiled beets with some caraway seeds. They are very healthy, so I encourage you to grow them. And its pretty much easy to grow them. They are not pretentious plants. Thanks again, also for your comment and supporting. Cheers from Romania.
Squash blossom
Squash blossoms are the edible flowers of Cucurbita species, particularly Cucurbita pepo, the species that produces zucchini (courgette), marrow, spaghetti squash, and many other types of squash.
In Great Britain they are called courgette flowers.
I picked a few yellow squash blossoms to add to my eggs the other morning. So delicious! Thanks for the inspiration. Will try butternut squash flowers soon probably. ( :
