This video says there are purple flowers that you can eat. In fact, he says the whole plant is edible! Anyone know about this? I feel kind of funny eating flowers even if they are purple!
Have a GRAPE Day!

They are beautiful. I’m not sure about eating flowers. Then again, I’ve eaten dandylion greens. They were good. I’ve also tasted punch with frozen rose petals. Purple flowers sound interesting for a taste test but I’m chicken. LOL.
His voice and accent sounds like my brother’s! That is kind of eerie. LOL.
Hey! I also just realized that I am now getting emails from this site! It works! It actually works! I love MomWebs! I never realized just how many of the problems I was having were due to GoDaddy! Wow! It works! lol
I’m a bit chicken to eat them too, Becky Joie. I’ll have to listen again to his voice. How weird that it sounds like your brother.
I don’t know about eating a “whole salad” as he said since one property of eating these flowers is to ease constipation. Seems eating a whole salad of them might, umm, cause an equal and opposite reaction!?! I have had dried mallow as a tea/ infusion for cough and it was good. While I’ve not eaten fresh mallow, I have eaten rose petals in a baby romaine salad and they were tasty once I got past th weirdness factor.
Oooh! That’s good to know Bobbi!
So, for some reason I thought there was a connection between “mallow plant” and “marshmallow,” and no not just the name. And ladies, if you’ve not eaten LAVENDER flowers, please try them! Delish! Such a lovely scent, too.
I’ll look into that!
