Now Forage

- It's regrettable eating the flower petals raw by themselves. While it's edible that way - it's best pickled and added to salads - according to various websites. If raw petals are eaten, they're covered up by adding it to syrups and desserts (and even salads if really chopped up) for a floral hint only. - cut the leaf into bay leaf-sized pieces and use like bay leaves - some websites say you can even eat the fruit (and is spicy like cinnamon to use as flavoring) - just not the seeds (these they say aren't edible)
