Are Violets Edible?
VIOLET FLOWERS AND LEAVES ARE EDIBLE



Please wash them carefully before use .



Known in cooking chiefly for their looks and fragrance, violets have been used extensively as garnishes. However, their culinary value is greater than adding beauty and colour alone. Violet blossoms and leaves are high in Vitamin C. In fact, violet leaves are higher in Vitamin C than any other domestic green vegetable, and also contain Vitamin A
Reply:yes... violets, geraniums, nasturtiums, roses are edible - as long as they have never had pesticides used on them.... Just the standard flowers; there's no special variety that's "edible", although you CAN candy them or "frost" them. You can dip flowers (or bunches of grapes) into a beaten egg white, and dip in granulated sugar. Then let them dry.....
Reply:Yes! Here is the link, actually a lot of flowers are edible.
