Tagetes
Small sunny flowers with citrus notes, to wake up a plate as a finishing touch.
Tagetes offers small yellow to orange flowers with a lively, aromatic fragrance. Its petals develop slightly spiced citrus notes that surprise pleasantly on the palate. Very graphic, they pull apart easily to scatter over a dish or are used whole for a bolder plate. A flower prized by chefs for its hold and intense colour.
