Product Description
Cornflower Petals have a mild, herby flavour with faint hints of clove. They’re mostly used for their colour – a rich, deep blue.
Cornflower Petals are sprinkled on top of cakes and cupcakes. Mix them into icing or put on top of the icing, or try in salads and salad dressings. Add to cocktails and mocktails along with a few spices to liven them up.
Steenbergs sources the highest cornflower petals we can find, packing them down in small batch runs to preserve the pretty blue colours.
Axel’s Tasting Notes: Mild; Herbal, mildly spicy.
More about Cornflower Petals
Conflower petals come from Centaurea cyanus, a small annual flowering plant, the cornflower.
Cornflowers are annuals that grow to 40 – 90 cm, have 1 – 4 cm long lanceolate leaves and intensely blue flowerheads that are 1 – 3 cm in diameter.
Weirdly the blue comes from protocyanin which also gives the red in rose blossom. The flowerhead structure in cornflowers is a ring of large spreading ray florets around a central cluster of disc florets.
