Apple Blossom

Apple Blossom, reminiscent of the crisp and tart flavor of Granny Smith apples, bring both flavor and beauty to your dishes. These blooms, which are actually begonia flowers, begin in vibrant pink shades and gradually mature into delicate white petals with a subtle blush of pink. Each blossom typically measures between 3 to 5 centimeters in diameter and grows in clusters of 4 to 6 flowers, creating an attractive, eye-catching display.

Chefs and home cooks alike love their versatility, perfect for adding a refreshing tang to both sweet and savory dishes. From fruit salads to garnishing seafood or cocktails, these blossoms offer a burst of flavor and visual appeal that can elevate a wide range of culinary creations.

Top your cakes, main dishes, or appetizers with whole Apple Blossoms for a show-stopping garnish. They add a pop of color and a touch of elegance that’ll make your dish the star of the table.

Apple Blossoms are also your dessert’s best friend. They’re perfect for jazzing up custards, cakes, ice creams, and puddings. They mix flawlessly with apple, lemon, vanilla, and warm spices like cinnamon and clove, turning your desserts into a flavor encore.

And don’t forget cocktails. Float Apple Blossoms on top or layer them into spring rolls for a drink that’s as fancy as it is fun. Freeze them into ice cubes for a floral flair that’ll have your guests toasting to your impeccable taste. Cheers to that!

Apple Blossom, also known as begonia flowers, offer notable nutritional benefits. These flowers are rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. These delicate blooms also possess anti-inflammatory properties, which may assist in reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of related health conditions.

In traditional medicine, begonias have been used for their therapeutic properties, such as acting as a tonic to reduce stress, assist in digestion, and even help with skin conditions like acne due to their anti-inflammatory and soothing qualities.

Keep your Apple Blossom in the refrigerator, ideally between 36 to 40°F, and in their clamshell packaging.
