Recently, the Yunnan Provincial Market Supervision Bureau issued a notice stating that
Choose Edible Flowers Carefully
Do not eat unfamiliar flowers!
Pay attention to food safety, don't buy if you don't know
Edible flowers should be selected from flowers approved by the National Health and Health Commission as food raw materials, and the food safety indicators should meet the requirements of relevant standards.
Although some flowers are considered edible based on experience, they lack food safety research data and should be purchased with caution.
Don't buy flowers you don't know, and avoid allergies or poisoning due to ingestion of flowers that are poisonous or contain harmful ingredients to the human body.
Differentiate the use of flowers and choose formally
For the same kind of flowers, ornamental flowers and edible flowers should be distinguished. Consumers should purchase edible flowers through regular channels. If they are ornamental flowers bought in flower markets, flowers scattered in parks and roadsides, it is best not to eat them.

Identify the attributes of edible flowers and choose carefully
The composition and content of each flower are different, resulting in different attributes, some are cold in nature, some are warm in nature, some are clearing away heat and detoxifying, some are expelling wind and cold, and some may contain certain carcinogens. Allergic ingredients, some may not be suitable for special groups such as children and pregnant women... When choosing edible flowers, you should fully understand its characteristics and choose carefully according to your physical condition.
Edible flowers are easy to wither and hard to survive, so eat them as soon as possible
Flowers have the characteristics of short flowering period, intolerance to storage, and perishability. Consumers should buy edible flowers, flower cakes, flower sugar, scented tea, flower sauce, etc. in small quantities, avoid direct sunlight, store at low temperature, and eat as soon as possible.
Flower cooking is generally light, and the color and fragrance of the flower itself should be kept as much as possible.
According to its characteristics, it is processed in different ways to ensure food safety.
