Red rose petals – edible petals for desserts, tea and oriental cooking
In our cooking, roses are not necessarily thought of as a spice, but in the Arabic and Persian world they are, in the most varied ways. Our red rose petals are harvested early in the morning, because the aroma is most concentrated at that time. Gently dried, they keep their bright colour and their fine, floral scent.
How to use
For flavouring sugar for pudding, cake and pastries, in jams and as a decorative finish over cucumber salad with yoghurt. Classically in oriental rice dishes, in Ras el Hanout, over couscous and tagines as well as an edible decoration on cakes and pralines. Also for flower tea and homemade rose syrup.
