Pink Flower (100g)

Description

Properties

Roses contain some vitamins and minerals and are low in calories, approximately 40 calories per 100g. They are rich in vitamins C, B, E, K, and tannins, and can be used to treat kidney problems, diarrhea, intestinal infections, eye inflammation, mouth inflammation, and ulcers.

Rose petals have numerous culinary uses; they can be eaten raw, seasoned or unseasoned, and cooked, and can be an integral part of starters, main courses, and desserts.

They pair well with salads, various appetizers, bread, cakes, cookies, and sweets. In Arabic cuisine, rose essence is traditionally used in creams, mousses, and fruit juices, especially lemonades and orange juices, as it imparts an exotic flavor. Typically, the essence is made through an infusion to concentrate the rose flavor.

When preparing a hot dish with roses, only add them to recipes after cooking, as high temperatures compromise their natural characteristics. The user must also choose the flower according to the dish they intend to prepare. Some species have a more pungent, sweeter, or bitter flavor. Like any other ingredient, edible flowers must be used judiciously.

Roses can also be used to flavor vinegars, olive oils, liqueurs, darken wines, jellies, make tea and candied.
