25. Chrysanthemums
Like chamomile, chrysanthemums are often added to tea, in China especially. These flowers are high in antioxidants and minerals and have anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties.
What you need to remember:
• Eat only flowers that are known to be edible and have been grown without pesticides.
• Eat only the petals, not the stamens or filaments.
• If you are prone to allergies, then eat a little at first and watch out for any irritation.
