Tulip


Tulipa
Tulip

Tulip petals have a sweet, pea-like flavor. The gorgeous flowers come in pink, purple, red, yellow, white, even green and then there's the variagated and frilly varieties.

To prepare, remove and discard the pistils and stamens from the center of the flower. Use the whole flower for decoration and for stuffing. Or pluck off each petal and trim off the bitter white portion at the bottom of each petal. Use julienned petals to garnish salads, sandwiches, cakes, desserts, and beverages.

* Some people are extremely allergic to tulips.
