These recipes, all contain Sweet Gardenias as a major edible flower.
The Sweet Gardenia, Gardenia jasminoides (also known as Gardenia augusta, Common Gardenia, Cape Jasmine or Cape Jessamine) is a fragrant flowering evergreen tropical plant of the Rubiaceae (Madder or Coffee family) originating in Asia that is most commonly found growing in Vietnam, Southern China, Taiwan and Japan. With its shiny green leaves and fragrant white summer flowers, it is widely used in gardens in warm temperate and subtropical climates. It has been in cultivation in China for at least a thousand years, and was introduced to English gardens in the mid 18th century.
It is widely used as a garden plant in warm temperate and subtropical gardens. It can be used as a hedge. It requires good drainage and a sunny location, and prefers a mildly acidic soil. Many cultivars have been developed. G. 'Radicans' is a low-growing groundcover which reaches 15–45cm in height and spreads up to a metre wide, while G 'Fortuniana' and G 'Mystery' are double-flowered cultivars. A new hybrid Gardenia called Summer Snow is a hardier breed with a greater resistance to cold climates. The Summer Snow Gardenia flourishes in zones 6–10. The fruit is used as a yellow dye for clothes food (including the Korean mung bean jelly called hwangpomuk) and is also used within Traditional Chinese Medicine to "drain fire" and thereby treat certain febrile conditions. The extremely fragrant blooms are also edible and the petals can be used to make pickles, preserves and jams. They can also be shredded and added as flavourings to cakes and fritters.
