The Cornflower, also known as Centaurea, is an excellent choice to add a stunning touch and vibrant colours to your dishes. These flowers come in a mix of shades ranging from blue, pink, and purple and have a delicate appearance, with petals that look pointy but are soft on the palate. The flowers are medium-sized, perfect for decoration. Their flavour is very mild, reminiscent of cucumber or raw green beans, making them versatile for various culinary combinations. Use them in your salads for visual contrast and a subtle vegetable-like flavour, or add them to fish dishes, such as grilled salmon or ceviche, where their delicacy complements the richness of the fish. They can also be used in meat dishes, such as carpaccios or tartares, where the softness of the flower balances the intense flavours of raw meat, or even to decorate cakes, tarts, and even ice creams, offering a delicate visual touch without interfering with the main flavour.
