Edible Freeze Dried Blue Cornflower Petals – Food Grade

By Edible Freeze Dried Flowers and Petals

From £12.99

Our Blue Cornflower Freeze Dried Natural Petals are often used to decorate culinary creations both sweet and savoury, or to decorate cocktails or mocktails. This is a natural product, the colours and shapes will vary slightly from the images shown.

We are a SALSA accredited independent company and source our fresh flowers from a UK grower and Freeze Dry them in-house.

Freeze drying is a chemical free way of preserving simply by using temperature and vacuum. It is a process that takes many days. We clean each flower by hand and then place them on racks to go in the drier. The flowers retain their original structure and will last for a minimum of 3 months, most will last longer.

Polly’s Petals is a family run business based in Dorset and as our name suggests we specialise in all thing’s petals, flowers, botanicals and edible plant based powders. We love the colour, the smell, the texture, and the versatility of them, but most of all we love the fact that they are friendly to the environment.

There is a small chance that you might find the odd tiny little harmless bug hiding between the petals that has escaped our cleaning procedures. These infrequent stowaways would be freeze dried too.

Preparation – No preparations is required for our freeze-dried products.

Butter Icing Cakes – Flowers and micro herbs can be stuck directly to butter icing using its natural tackiness. Don’t refrigerate your cake before you decorate because the butter icing will set and nothing will stick (Edible glue will work if you have this situation) . I usually decorate my cakes the night before I need them and keep them covered in the fridge.

Royal Icing/Fondant Cakes – Flowers and micro herbs can be stuck to royal icing/fondant cakes by using edible glue. This can be done in advance of your event and should not discolour the product.

Garnish Hot Food – Temperature will affect the products so garnish as you are about to serve.

Garnish Cold Food – Will make a lovely garnish and can be decorated the morning of your event. If the food is liquid, please garnish as you serve.

Garnish Hot Drinks – Temperature and moisture will affect the petals so garnish as you are about to serve.

Garnish Cold Drinks – Moisture will affect the petals so garnish as you are about to serve.

Ice Cubes – We suggest using bottled water for making ice cubes, this is so the ice cube is not cloudy. Any of our freeze dried products make beautiful, fun and colourful ice cubes.

The flowers, petals and micro herbs will have a Best Before date on the packaging and will be packed in light resistant, airtight re-sealable bags, please keep in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.  Please Note They  do not need to be refrigerated.
