Welcome to the summary page for FabulousFusionFood's Edible Flowers guide to Snapdragons along with all the Snapdragons containing recipes presented on this site, with 0 recipes in total.
This is a continuation of an entire series of pages that will, I hope, allow my visitors to better navigate this site. As well as displaying recipes by name, country and region of origin I am now planning a whole series of pages where recipes can be located by meal type and main ingredient. This page gives a listing of all the Cornish recipes added to this site.
These recipes, all contain Snapdragons as a major edible flower.
Antirrhinum is a genus of plants commonly known as dragon flowers or snapdragons because of the flowers' fancied resemblance to the face of a dragon that opens and closes its mouth when laterally squeezed. They are also sometimes called toadflax[1] or dog flower.[2] They are native to rocky areas of Europe, the United States, Canada, and North Africa. Antirrhinum species are widely used as ornamental plants in borders and as cut flowers.
The Antirrhinum is morphologically diverse, particularly the New World group (Saerorhinum).[4] The genus is characterized by personate flowers with an inferior gibbous corolla.
The snapdragon is an important garden plant, widely cultivated from tropical to temperate zones as a bedding, rockery, herbaceous border or container plant. Cultivars have showy white, crimson, or yellow bilabiate flowers (with two lips). It is also important as a model organism in botanical research, and its genome has been studied in detail.
In addition to growing the plants for cut flowers, the seeds have been used to extract edible oils, particularly in Russia, while the leaves and flowers have been considered to possess antiphlogistic (anti-inflammatory) properties and have been used in poultices. A green dye has also been extracted from the flowers. The flowers are edible, and have a slightly bitter flavour that resembles that of chicory. The shapes of the flowers make them into impressive garnishes.
If you like bitterness, then suing whole snapdragon flowers in salads in place of radiccio is a good way to go. If you're not into bitterness, then make a sweet pickle of snapdragon flowers and use those in salads and as garnishes.
