Looking for something to spice up your dishes? It could be right out your door!
Wild violets add a lovely color to any dish and are high in Vitamin C.
Wild violets come in several colors and grow best in shade.
In this photo, they're growing in shade with clover.
To pick wild violets for garnish: make sure you're picking wild violets, or any flowers, from an area that hasn't been treated with chemicals. Pull gently on the flower stem; wash.
I like to pile several wild violet stems together, keeping flowers on the same side. My nephew prefers to literally toss his wild violets all over his plate, giving his dish that extra artsy touch!
Not only will your dish look pretty but you're also getting your vitamins!
