Tips Flowers, allies for taste and well-being
Flowers are everywhere: in nature, on our tables and even in our homes
Today, flowers are as much a part of our meals as they are of our homes.
In the kitchen, they enhance dishes; in the home, they create a soothing, lively atmosphere.
Véritable® invites you to explore the fascinating world of edible and ornamental flowers, with their traditions, benefits and culinary inspiration.
Flowers: a universal and timeless language
Flowers have always accompanied our lives and rituals throughout the world.
- In Japan, the sakura symbolises fragile beauty and impermanence.
- In Europe, the pansy evokes remembrance and fidelity, while the marigold is often associated with strength and protection.
- The Indian lotus, meanwhile, embodies purity and spiritual awakening.
Cultural differences aside, flowers convey strong emotions and are an integral part of our daily lives, whether to decorate a table, soothe the atmosphere or enrich a recipe.
Edible flowers, the stars of creative cooking
Today, chefs and restaurateurs are redoubling their creativity by incorporating flowers into their dishes. More than just a trend, they are becoming a visual and taste signature:
- Le Clarence in Paris (2 Michelin stars) sublimates its dishes with fresh flowers,
- Vegetarian establishments such as Le Potager de Charlotte make the most of floral products from short circuits or urban vegetable gardens.
With Véritable®, professionals and private individuals can grow their own edible flowers directly in their kitchen or restaurant.
The essentials to grow :
- Pansies: slightly sweet, ideal as a dessert topping or on creative salads.
- The marigold: for a peppery, colourful touch in savoury dishes or even cocktails.
As well as their taste appeal, these flowers add elegance and freshness to every creation.
The benefits of flowers for the mind and the home
Flowers don't just brighten up our dishes. Their presence in an interior space has a real impact on well-being:
- They reduce stress and promote relaxation
- They stimulate creativity, a real asset for workplaces or restaurants
- Some, like Lobelia or Plumed Cockscomb, offer magnificent blooms and add a touch of living, soothing nature to your decor
With Véritable®, decorative flowers are easy to grow all year round to create an effortless green atmosphere.
