Fresh Radish Flower

Edible radish flowers are light, delicate blossoms with a similar shape and texture to arugula blossoms and a faint radish flavor. Each flower has four long petals that are a mix of white and purple and four yellow stamens in the center. Each blossom is approximately 1” wide, with a short length of thin green stem attached.

Radish flowers have a mild flavor that allows them to be used on all sorts of dishes. However, because they are ever so faintly radish-y, they are best used on savory dishes instead of sweet ones. Try using them as a garnish for seafood, salads, meat dishes and more.

Some edible flowers may wilt or change color when exposed to vinegar, so if using a vinegar-based dressing on salads containing edible flowers, test it on a few blossoms ahead of time and/or add it at the last second.
