Roses

Aromatic whole rose flowers/buds are ideal for adding a touch of variety to any kitchen. These edible flowers can be used as a seasoning when preparing various dishes, drinks, teas and desserts. They can also be used to decorate plates, tables or even cakes. They can also be added to various alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, particularly gin. If crushed, they can be used to make spice blends to suit your taste. Rose petals go well with spices such as cardamom and cinnamon. Whole roses can be used to flavour sugar simply by storing the petals in a jar of sugar for a few weeks.

Uses

The use of rose petals is characteristic of traditional Iranian cuisine, where they are mainly used to flavour desserts, as well as to prepare refined rice dishes. In Turkish cuisine, they are used to make a well-known sweet called lokoum.

In Bulgaria, however, they are also added to jam and ice cream.

Rose petals are so versatile that they can also be used in homemade cosmetic products, such as natural soap or face masks.
