French Marigold (Edible Flowers)

French Marigold flowers (Tagetes patula) are known for their distinct taste, which is often described as slightly citrusy and tangy with a hint of bitterness. The flavor can vary depending on the specific variety and growing conditions, but generally, French Marigold flowers have a unique combination of fruity and floral notes, along with a mild peppery undertone.

Because of their distinctive flavor profile, French Marigold petals are sometimes used sparingly in culinary dishes as an edible garnish, adding both color and a subtle tanginess. However, they are not as commonly used for culinary purposes as some other edible flowers due to their more intense flavor compared to milder options like pansies or nasturtiums.

Keep refrigerated and please wash before consuming.
