Flowers are the parts of plants that aid in reproduction by attracting pollinating animals. Most people are surprised at the large role flowers play in their diets simply because most of the commonly eaten flowers aren’t bright and colorful. Broccoli, cauliflower, and artichoke can all be characterized by their dull appearance (fortunately they still taste delicious). This is because these flowers are either stunted in their growth or we eat them before they bloom. Although we do eat some brightly-colored flowers, they are mostly used as garnishes.
