Are roses edible?

Question

Like, if I were to eat one, would it kill me?

I was chewing on one and I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to die. :D

Bleh! I couldn't get the bitter taste to go away, but it did smell incredibly good coming out of the microwave.

Answer 1

Kill you? Not at all

The flavors depend on type, color, and soil conditions. Flavor reminiscent of strawberries and green apples. Sweet, with subtle undertones ranging from fruit to mint to spice. All roses are edible, with the flavor being more pronounced in the darker varieties. In miniature varieties can garnish ice cream and desserts, or larger petals can be sprinkled on desserts or salads. Freeze them in ice cubes and float them in punches also. Petals used in syrups, jellies, perfumed butters and sweet spreads.


I recommend not easting the stems though!

Make sure there isn't a bee inside. Yes, rose petals are definitely edible. If you sprinkle a little sugar and bake in a cool oven for a few minutes, they make an interesting and edible decoration for a dessert. Of course you could just eat them raw. It could be dangerous if you steal them from your neighbour and they catch you.....

Actually roses are edible. You can either eat the petals, which don't taste to good. Or you can cook them and use them with chicken. It's a special recipe. Yummy!!
