Due to their high nutritional and chemoprotective values, the consumption of edible flowers is gaining popularity as a food source and garnish. Consequently, the market for edible flowers is flourishing, and research in this area is expanding. This book provides comprehensive information on various aspects of edible flower production and application. It covers topics such as biodiversity, nutraceutical values, cultivation techniques (including soilless and precise production), post-harvest processes and quality assurance. The book delves into research on both traditional and innovative techniques in the supply chains of edible flower beverages, food, spices, and flavourings. Finally, the authors explore the application of edible flowers as garnishes in pastries and candies. This book is an precious resource for anyone interested in the burgeoning field of edible flowers. 410 0$aAdvances in Olericulture,$x2367-4091 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aAgronomy 606 $aBotany 606 $aFood science 606 $aFood$xAnalysis 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aAgronomy 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aFood Science 606 $aFood Analysis 606 $aFood Studies 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aAgronomy. 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aFood science. 615 0$aFood$xAnalysis. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aAgronomy. 615 24$aPlant Science. 615 24$aFood Science. 615 24$aFood Analysis. 615 24$aFood Studies. 676 $a630 700 $aJowkar$b Mohammad Mahdi$01893112 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911061847803321 996 $aAdvances in Research on Edible Flowers$94540587 997 $aUNINA
