Fresh Edible Flowers - African Marigolds, White Swan

Soft, elegant, and beautifully unusual, our Fresh White Swan Marigold Edible Flowers add delicate color and abundant texture to cakes, grazing boards, cocktails, and other culinary creations. Despite their name, White Swan Marigolds are not pure white. These distinctive blooms are a very pale, creamy yellow, with some flowers showing touches of deeper yellow toward the center or throughout the petals. Each full, ruffled bloom measures approximately 2–3 inches in diameter, creating a substantial flower with a softer, more understated color than traditional bright yellow or orange marigolds. Their creamy coloring and densely layered petals make White Swan Marigolds especially beautiful for elegant cakes, weddings, showers, and designs where you want the texture of a marigold without an intensely bold color. Grown and hand-harvested on our USDA certified organic farm in Pennsylvania, our White Swan Marigolds are grown specifically for culinary use. How to Use Fresh White Swan Marigolds Marigolds are edible and wonderfully versatile for culinary decorating. The individual petals are especially useful, allowing you to add delicate color and texture without using the entire flower. Use whole White Swan blooms as statement flowers on cakes, desserts, and grazing boards, or gently pull apart the blooms and scatter the petals over cupcakes, salads, appetizers, cocktails, mocktails, and plated dishes. Their densely packed petals also make them wonderful for creating floral clusters on cakes. Pair them with smaller edible flowers and herbs for lush botanical arrangements, or combine them with deeper fall colors for beautiful contrast. Perfect for: Cakes, cupcakes & desserts Wedding & shower cakes Grazing and charcuterie boards Cocktails & mocktails Salads and plated dishes Scattered edible flower petals Elegant botanical decorating Floral cake arrangements Adding soft, creamy yellow color to culinary creations Flavor & Texture: Marigold petals have a distinctive herbal, slightly citrusy and pleasantly bitter flavor. The petals are tender enough to scatter over foods and drinks, while the green base and center of the flower are firmer and more intensely flavored. For eating, we recommend primarily using the individual petals. Farm Grown & USDA Certified Organic Our White Swan Marigolds are grown, hand-harvested, and packed on our Pennsylvania organic farm.
