Marigold
Golden petals with a lightly peppery taste, to colour and perfume.
Marigold, or calendula, stands out for its petals ranging from golden yellow to deep orange. Their flavour is mild, slightly peppery with a hint of bitterness, and their colour spreads into preparations, hence the nickname "poor man's saffron". Pulled apart or whole, they dress a starter as well as a rice dish, a butter or a pastry.
