Have you ever grown edible flowers from green vegetables?

In fact, I wasn't obsessed with growing edible flowers at all. But when the vegetables in my family's garden with mustard greens started to flower, I thought about planting more.

It started with my mother's desire to eat the mustard green flowers, which you usually buy at vegetable market.

When I see my “Caisim” thrive, then I let them grow big and don't harvest them as a whole, we can see here growing flower buds.

Besides being edible, the flowers from this vegetable can later be used as seeds for further plant nurseries.

Indeed, we need a lot of flowers if we want to make them a side dish. If in the garden we still produce a few flowers, we can cook the flowers for omelette mix, potato soup with mushrooms, and many more. Or something else that can be amazing is that we can make a beautiful pudding with this mustard flower filling.

Have you ever eaten flowers from a vegetable plant before? What vegetable flowers are you curious about?

Thta's so funny! A friend was talking about doing this today - she'd made a salad with lots of edible flowers. AWesome. @riverflows

I love the yellowish part of the flowers. Did you just said edible? Wow. Thanks for sharing this.
