Owing to increasing knowledge about the composition, antioxidant and biological properties of edible flowers and availability of metabolomics to identify their chemical components, there are many possibilities for development of nutraceuticals and functional foods using edible flowers. Since edible flowers have antioxidants, fiber, and even some proteins, they can be used in various meal plans. The most common phytochemical compounds found in edible flowers are carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids and anthocyanins.
