The purple locust flower is actually the fragrant locust tree, also called the wealthy tree, which is a variant of the black locust tree. Sophora japonica is resistant to barrenness and has strong adaptability and growth. It can be used for mountain forest greening. It is generally planted on both sides of the road as a street tree. As a kind of tree that beautifies the city, its main value is for viewing. Moreover, the scent of Sophora japonica is overflowing, which can refresh the mind, relieve fatigue, and promote nervous excitement.

However, although this purple sophora flower is beautiful to look at, it has little edible value, so it is usually best not to eat it. Especially the fragrant Sophora japonica that grows in industrial areas will absorb harmful particles in the air. After being eaten, these harmful substances will be transferred to the body, which will be very harmful to people in the long run.

Although it is not recommended to eat purple Sophora japonica flowers, it is a good source of nectar, and the quality of Sophora japonica nectar produced is higher than that of white Sophora japonica flowers. Some experts say that although people are not encouraged to eat purple sophora flower, this does not mean that it is poisonous. In fact, purple sophora flowers are not poisonous. The reason why consumption is not recommended is because purple locust flowers are mostly used as ornamental plants and have low nutritional value, so consumption is not beneficial to the human body.
