Ooo just out of interest they are completely edible too (and taste amazing). The best garnish if you have access to them!

Thanks for the info, it'd make a pretty salad ingredient.

Used to use it in a professional kitchen alongside peeled orange slices to make a lovely salad look even nicer. The trick is to slice about 1mm above where the aggregate bud joins the stem at a 45 degree angle which makes them all fall apart into the little flowerlets.

Hope they work well for you 💚

This is an awesome tip, I'm excited to try it out!

Get onion-flavored honey and brush that over focaccia.
