Fresh Edible Flowers - Zinnias, Persian Carpet Mix

Warm, richly colored, and perfectly sized for detailed decorating, our Fresh Persian Carpet Zinnia Edible Flowers bring the colors of fall to cakes, cocktails, grazing boards, and other culinary creations. Persian Carpet Zinnias are a smaller-flowered zinnia, producing charming blooms that measure approximately 1–2 inches in diameter. Their petals come in a beautiful mix of warm, autumn-inspired shades including gold, yellow, orange, rust, burgundy, red, and cream, often with striking two-toned and patterned petals. Their smaller size makes Persian Carpet Zinnias especially versatile for decorating. They provide the bold color and classic shape of a zinnia without overwhelming smaller cakes, cupcakes, cocktails, or individual desserts. Grown and hand-harvested on our USDA certified organic farm in Pennsylvania, our Persian Carpet Zinnias are grown specifically for culinary use. How to Use Fresh Persian Carpet Zinnias Persian Carpet Zinnias are edible, but the center of the flower and the base of the petals can have a firmer texture and slightly bitter flavor. For that reason, we recommend using the blooms primarily as an edible decorative garnish or using the individual petals. Use the petite whole blooms to decorate cakes, cupcakes, individual desserts, grazing boards, cocktails, and mocktails. Their 1–2 inch size makes them particularly useful for creating floral clusters and arrangements where larger zinnias may be too dominant. You can also gently pull the petals and scatter them over desserts, salads, grazing boards, and drinks for beautiful natural fall color. Persian Carpet Zinnias pair especially well with other autumn-colored edible flowers and herbs to create warm, abundant botanical designs for fall weddings, showers, parties, and seasonal celebrations. Perfect for: Fall cakes, cupcakes & desserts Wedding & shower cakes Grazing and charcuterie boards Cocktails & mocktails Salads and plated dishes Individual desserts Scattered edible flower petals Autumn-inspired decorating Smaller floral clusters and detailed cake designs Flavor & Texture: Persian Carpet Zinnia petals have a mild, slightly bitter or peppery vegetal flavor, while the center and base of the flower are firmer in texture.
