Edible flowers - market situation and prospects.
1994
Allen A.D.
A survey of restaurants in Victoria was conducted to ascertain their current and potential use of edible flowers. A total of 39 flowers or groups of flowers were nominated. The main problem in supply was their seasonality. Products nominated as difficult to obtain were often being produced. Discussions were held with a number of producers. Most agreed that the industry was expanding, though the only producers who were ready to upgrade production were those producing salad mixes containing flowers. There appears to be a niche market for pre-packed punnets of such salads. Producers need to promote their products, particularly in the area of increasing knowledge of the edibility of types of plants.
