Fresh Camellias

Camellia blossoms are large flowers that come in a wide range of pinks (from almost white to almost red).  They are sold as a blend of colors that varies with availability.

Camellia blossoms vary considerably in size. As a rough estimate, blossoms can range from about 1 1/2” to 3 ½” wide (possibly smaller or larger). They float in liquids very well and have a crisp, juicy texture and somewhat soapy flavor.

Use camellia blossoms and detached petals as decoration for plates, punch bowls, banquets and platters.
