Tagetes

Garden plant also has culinary potential

Not everyone will recognise the official name 'tagetes', but this popular garden plant is known everywhere under the name 'marigold'. Edible Tagetes can also be found in the kitchen. Of the many varieties that are grown commercially, Nature's Pride has selected those that stand out for their spicy, slightly bitter and citrusy flavour. This makes edible marigolds suitable for quite a list of uses. Desserts, of course, but tagetes also add a special touch to marinades and sauces. Edible tagetes are available in yellow and orange.

Recipes & preparation tips

The citrus-like taste of edible Tagetes is not very dominant, so that the petals can easily be added to a dish. The yellow or orange colour adds appeal to salads and also comes into its own with fish dishes. Other uses include desserts such as ice cream.
