grape hyacinths are one of my favorite spring ephemerals. not only are they adorable, but the flowers can be used for making syrup that tastes faintly and sweetly of grapes.
and if that’s not your thing, they can also be used for making color-changing ink. the initial ink might look purple in color, but as it hits the paper and begins to dry it will turn blue. and if you add an acid, it will turn pink. and if you add a basic it will turn green (you can do this with the syrup, too!)
this happens because of naturally-occurring pigments called anthocyanins – the same pigments found in purple cabbage, violets, and blueberries!

comprehensive list of edible flowers to celebrate spring!:
magnolias (they taste like ginger)
dandelions (only eat the yellow stuff not the bitter green stuff)
violets (if u make tea from them then add lemon it turns pink! tastes earthy and mildly sweet)
lilac (they're bitter on their own but if you put a flower head in cold water for a couple hours it makes the most divine, refreshing spring drink)
marigolds (kinda peppery, v fun in salads-- used as a sub for saffron in cooking)
rose (the og edible flower, most are very floral and taste like how they smell, they make for an excellent tea as well!)
nasturnium (very peppery, almost like horseradish-- not my fav but if u like it go off i guess)
peonys (mildly sweet, floral flavor and fun to eat off the bush)
wood sorrel (the flowers are small so it barely made it onto this list but they taste like little bombs of green apple so go eat them--also eat the leaves!)
daisy (some say the yellow center tastes like pineapple-- i think its a bit of a stretch but they are sweet and tasty nonetheless!)
red clover (the flower heads can be white or pink-- the pink ones are the sweeter ones)
redbud (these grow on trees in v early spring-- they taste exactly like snap peas.)
always remember to do research before eating any wild plant, and always be 100% certain that u have the right one-- also don't eat stuff that might be contaminated with pesticides

So I spent most of this weekend in a whole depresh sesh until my body reminded me it needed sustenance. Which I did. And then I also realized "hey, I need more groceries." But I did not have the energy to go out. Y'all the last time I used Instacart was almost a year ago but here we are. Was looking through my local grocery store for some good basics and some good snacks and I saw something intriguing:

Do you like ginger and/or cardamom?
Do you also like free spices?
WELL HI let me introduce you to magnolia buds! Yes, the same buds that eventually become those lovely pink flowers you see growing on trees every spring.
Magnolia flowers are edible at all stages, but when you pick them like this just before they open, they are PERFECT for drying and using as a spice. If the buds are already open, don’t bother. I don’t know what it is about the petals, but they do NOT dry well and the smell becomes almost fishy.
I slice the buds open lengthwise, and separate any thick outer layers before drying. An oven won’t work for this unfortunately — the flavor is really too delicate. I put them in a dehydrator on its lowest setting for most consistent results, but air drying will also work. The only thing about that is it’s very important that the buds remain dry. Any moisture and you risk ruining a whole batch.
They shrink a lot once they’re fully dry, so I don’t bother crushing them up when finished. I store them in a clean, dry mason jar and they last easily for a few months (if I don’t use them before then)! Use anywhere you would ginger or cardamom – they make an excellent addition to cookies and spice cakes!
* Always forage responsibly and NEVER eat anything you aren’t 100% sure of. When in doubt, throw it out! *
