Calendula

Beauty queen on the plate

Calendula - Product photo

The calendula is a fantastic flower to behold, with a bright orange colour – although there are also yellow varieties. It is precisely because of the striking colour that calendula has also conquered a place in the kitchen. The flower and the young leaves are edible. Calendula has a mild, peppery taste.

It is a real eye catcher in salads. Striking detail: the beautiful orange colour is also resistant to heat. As a result, the edible calendula can also be cooked. The elongated, oval petals end in three teeth.

Recipes & preparation tips

Edible calendula has a subtle peppery taste. The flower is especially popular for its colour: bright orange or yellow. The petals add a splash of colour to rice dishes and also work well in soups. You can even brew a tasty tea with calendula. To maintain the shape of the flower when it is processed raw, it is better not to rinse calendula before use.
