Edible Flowers

Hello, guys!;D Today's topic is "Flowers", which make people happy as decorative plants. I can be glad when I see beautiful flowers, however, there are many flowers which not only make people happy but also make them "full". Have you ever heard of an "Edible Flower"? It is a flower that we can eat as foods, and which is usually used for decoration. One of Japanese Traditional edible floweres is Cherry blossoms petals,which is used for Cherry blossom tea, a bean jam ban,and even cheeese! There are many kinds of Japanese foods which include Cherry blossom pickled petals. In wedding ceremony, Cherry blossom tea is drank because Japanese people consult omens. There is a Japanese saying,"Ocha wo Nigosu"; "Ocha" is Japanese green tea and "Nigosu" is to make unclear. So this saying means that be evasive, which is not good meaning for happy weddings,consulting onems green tea is rare served in Japanese wedding. Instead of green tea,Cherry blossom tea is served since it is very clear. After I looked for some imformation of Japanese well known edible floweres, I reconed Japanese people really like Cherry blossoms!:)) I hope you enjoyed my blog, thanks for your reading!
