Good afternoon to all the readers on this particular topic “Edible Flowers” especially to MM for featuring my fresh edible flowers in Sidcor Sunday Market at Eton Centris Mall. Many thanks to “Enya” my client, my friend for the information that these flowers were being shown on the net.
To all the constructive comments, thanks for all the reactions and comments, reviews that will serve as bases for future works on edible flowers. Actually, i started offering those flowers still we were in Lung Center of the Philippines and still continued to the Centris Mall.
At first, i experienced that some of my co-traders make me a laughing stuff (a person who sell flowers as in the case of the wheat grass, where i was taunted by some underprivileged workers in our stall row. As an agriculturist, i was not affected for their discouraging behaviour .

Thanks for all the clients who made purchases for all edible flowers. Hoped, i will add more kinds as long as it is readily available in the farm @ Bais Multifarms, Inc. at Brgy Plaridel , Lipa City.

Expects more wisdom from the wise men. Thank you @ God Bless You all.

bettyQ: Wow! thanking you in advance at maanggihan ako ng napakalaking biyaya from your heavenly kitchen.

Something coming your way in return.

Thanks MM for allowing us these liberties in your blog.

Footloose: you too are so amusing in how you find connections between food, language, literature and all sorts of things. You remind me of my now deceased mother in law, a renaissance woman. She had a PhD in the romance languages after shifting her scholarship from Pharmacy/ Chemistry and also spoke Portuguese among the other 4 or 5 languages she spoke.

Still in the subject of edible flowers, did you know that aloe vera blossoms are eaten in Mexico? They call the plant sábila just like we Filipinos do. Brazlians on the other hand call it babosa which means malaway in Filipino.

Here is a link from one of my favorite foodblogs. https://come-se.blogspot.com/2011/05/flor-de-babosa-para-comer.html Unforch it’s in Brazilian Portuguese so I shall translate the first paragraph for those interested:

I learned for the first time that aloe vera flower is edible from Carmen, a Mexican who has a blog that I adore and where I learn a ‘mouthful’ about Mexican ingredients. Afterwards, I also saw some flowers from a catalog edited by Slow Food about food resources of the state of Puebla. And cited here is the flower of sábila as it is known in Mexico. Furthermore, Carmen thinks that the name we call the plant is funny. “Really amusing name. Here we call a foolish and careless woman to whom stupid things happen ‘babosa.’”

Ms. Connie C…if you miss that vine…Jungle seeds has them. It is company based in UK and guess what…they have YLANG-YLANG seeds…the dwarf kind which I am interested in. …won’t overwinter though so if I do buy the seeds, they will stay indoors.

Thanks Connie C for the link. The Latin name alone would be enough for me to dive into its decoction without restrain. There have been discussions of this curious flower hereabouts, apparently, the local (in Luzon) name for it is pukinggan. Lovely name ain’t it?

Footloose: Funny, but was just doing a bit of research a minute ago to share the information in this blog.

My butterfly pea vine with a delightful ( bettyQ) botanical name must have come from Thailand where they use it as tea infusion for its antioxidant properties ( proanthocyanidin) The lady at the organic garden in Puerto Princesa who gave it to me said it has mood relaxing properties and I took it as that. When you add lemon to it, the brilliant blue purple color turns to a nice purple pink, the color of potassium permanganate….and tho not so appetizing or romantic a comparison, is the perfect color I associate it with. It is also used as a food dye.

Here’s the link:

And OH Footloose: I’d love to see and browse thru your library and am really jealous about the fountain of information you contribute to this blog.
