Varieties

Violets appear in a variety of colors, including blue, yellow, and white.

Buying and storing tips

Violets can be found primarily in specialty markets. Look for fresh blossoms with no signs of wilting or browning. Store them between paper towels loosely packed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

Preparation, uses, and tips

Immerse blossoms in cool water to flush out any tiny insects, and dry thoroughly in a salad spinner. Add to field greens, or use as a garnish for desserts.

Nutritional Highlights

Not available. Edible flowers have not been well-studied for their nutrient content.
