Tagetes flowers, commonly known as marigolds, are edible blossoms that bring a vibrant splash of color to dishes. They have a slightly peppery, citrusy flavor with hints of orange and spice, reminiscent of a cross between saffron and citrus zest. The petals are often used to add a pop of color and a burst of fresh, tangy flavor to salads, soups, and rice dishes. Their bright hues also make them a popular choice for garnishing plates and adding visual appeal.
Each flower is approximately 0.1grams. Therefore, 15 grams is around 150 flowers.
