Choose those that are grown free from harmful pesticides and other chemicals. When we also talk about edible flowers, it’s not that you can actually pick a flower and use it right away. There’s a proper way to prepare them, such as soaking them in clean water and drying them a bit before using. You can click here to learn more about preparing edible flowers.
