When spring comes, the center of flower viewing is always jostling with each other. In fact, this blooming flower can be used not only for appreciation, but also for eating.

1. Osmanthus fragrans is used as seasoning in Ningbo Tangyuan, a famous Ningbo food in China. Authentic Ningbo glutinous rice balls will be decorated with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar made of sweet-scented osmanthus after being cooked, which is considered complete. This sweet-scented osmanthus sugar can increase the impression of Ningbo glutinous rice balls, and also make them full of fragrance, with a touch of sweetness. Whether there is sweet-scented osmanthus sugar or not, the Ningbo glutinous rice balls made are two things.

2. The Qingming Festival is just the time when peach blossoms are in full bloom. There is also a saying in Shanghai that people eat peach blossom porridge. Because peach blossoms have wonderful meanings. When eating, add peach blossoms to the cooked porridge, and then add rock sugar! I think the taste is comparable to that of black rice osmanthus porridge, but I eat less, or black rice osmanthus porridge is more.

3. scrambled eggs with hibiscus flowers. It is a common garden shrub with colorful flowers. It is an excellent plant for free-growing hedgerows and is suitable for planting on both sides of roads, parks, courtyards and other places. The nutritional value of hibiscus is extremely high, which is rich in protein, fat, crude fiber, recovery sugar, vitamin C, amino acids, iron, calcium, zinc, etc., and contains flavonoids active compounds.

4. In addition to flower cakes, there are many dishes made with words, mostly fried, just like fried pumpkin flowers. Fried pumpkin flowers can often be seen in Yunnan, just like flower cakes, and pumpkin flowers can eat it for a long time, so our food-eating country has worked out dozens of ways to eat pumpkin flowers, such as fried pumpkin flowers, pumpkin flowers scrambled eggs, pumpkin porridge, pumpkin flowers soup, and fermented pumpkin flowers.

5. Banana flower is also a kind of medicinal material, which can strengthen people's immunity and make people with poor physical condition recover their vitality. The method is similar to that in pumpkin flowers, but it is not as universal as that in pumpkin flowers. Banana flower can not be eaten with fish and mutton, nor can it be eaten with cold ingredients such as eggs and peppers.

These dishes are all made with flowers as the main ingredients, and China's food culture is really profound.
