Are Blossoms Of Zinnias Edible

Wed, 21 Jul 2010 05:00:00 GMT

By Teresa Blackburn: Are the blossoms of zinnias edible? Zinnias that are free of pesticides of course?
I would like to try in a summer salad but cannot find any solid information online after looking for hours.

Answer By The Flower Expert: Zinnia flower is not in the list of poisonous plant. These zinnia flowers are edible. But in my view, it is safe to use only petals in the salad.
