I figured this would be a great topic for a thread.
Please add any flowers that you know to be edible. I know there is a very, very long list. (PLEASE INDICATE if you know that a flower needs to be cooked before eating!)
Here are a few:
*Hibiscus
*Bougainvillea (to my knowledge, the colored leaves, not the stamens)
*Banana blossoms (banana leaves are technically edible too)
*Citrus blossoms - lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, calamondin, kuqmuat...
*Jasmine - just makes sure it's true jasmine!
*Honeysuckle
*Ixora Coccinea
*Plumeria
*Pineapple guava/Feijoa flowers
*Coral Vine flowers (COOKED!)
*Purple hyacinth bean FLOWERS - 2 different sources state the flowers can be eaten raw, although the beans have to be thoroughly cooked
