Edible flowers

In our usual diet we incorporate many more flowers than we think. Let’s look at an exemplary menu. Initially we will prepare a salad with zucchini flowers. We can also add raw broccoli. Broccoli is a perfect example of fractal structure. Mathematicians speak of fractality when they find a geometric pattern that is repeated at different scales. We will still add pipes and sunflower oil, a flower that receives this name because it has positive heliotropism, that is, it tends to follow the sun throughout the day. We will also add capers, the flower buds of a typical plant of walls. It can not miss the artichoke, another floral bud, in this case a very beautiful lilac thistle. In our floral menu we can also include a cauliflower with bechamel and a pinch of saffron. Saffron is obtained exclusively from the pistils of a flower, from the pulverized female parts. 250,000 flowers are needed to get a kg of pure saffron, so you can pay up to 5,000 euros/kg! For dessert we will prepare a vanilla ice cream. Vanilla comes from the sheath of an orchid, a tropical climbing plant. Finally we can take an infusion of chamomile, another very aromatic flower with medicinal and digestive properties and sweeten it with pollen of a thousand flowers. In this way we will have prepared some flowery dishes and by consuming them we will become florivores.
