Marigold Flowers
£2.70
The flowers and leaves of the marigold have a citrus taste.
Ideal for adding to salads, sandwiches, seafood dishes or hot desserts. Marigolds are sometimes called the “poor man’s saffron” as the petals can be used as a colouring in place of, the much more expensive, saffron.
To prepare marigolds: Pull entire petals from the stem, and as you hold them firmly in your hand, with scissors cut off the white (or pale greenish) “heels,” as this could give a bitter taste if not removed.
