The Crystallized Flower Company is home-grown out of Willoughby, Ohio. All of our edible blooms are grown naturally, free of harmful chemicals, pesticides, or growth hormones. We believe that deliciously edible flowers begin with incredibly grown flowers! Our quality control is guaranteed with every magical bloom that we produce!
Edible flowers have been eaten for thousands of years and can be traced back to The Roman Era. They were especially popular during the Victorian Period. But today, edible petals are finding their way back into our hearts and on our plates once again. We are seeing them as an organic, healthy, local way to eat. Almost nil in calories and a sourceful of trace minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants! Did you know that deep orange petals may contain beta carotene and potassium? Yellow flowers are a very good source of vitamin A. Roses are high in vitamin C and anti-oxidants. Pansies are rich in vitamin A & C and are a source of rutin, which benefits the cardiovascular system. Pollen is full of protein. Nectar is composed of sugars and trace minerals. We are not saying we have cornered the market on healthy eating... but every inch helps!
Crystallized Flowers are easy to store and are non-perishable for one year when stored properly. Simply keep flowers in air-tight containers, free of moisture, at room temperature & out of direct sunlight.
Crystallized Flowers may be placed on pastry and food surfaces 24-48 hours prior to consumption (this includes refrigeration and freezing). If your pastry creation requires refrigeration prior to the event, store pastries uncovered. Do not seal in containers or cover with plastic wrap. Storingthem in closed containers will cause the flowers to absorb moisture from the pastries.
A small drop of icing can be used to attach flowers to pastry surfaces.
