DESCRIPTION

Our candied rose petals are embedded in a tasty, protective sugar shell - part of the petal eating experience. The shell acts as a preservative, protecting the dried petal inside, and a flavor enhancer with a distinct rose taste of its own. The sugar also has a delightful crunch and makes the candied petals durable enough to make a presence atop ice cream, frostings on a cake, or a garnish at teatime desserts. As for the taste: sweet and unmistakenly floral, rose flavor rising up in every bite. A truly unique candy with a deserved and venerable history. The history of rose petals is on the label with a period illustration. These petals are from a shop in Toulouse, France which opened in 1818.

Petals & Sugar: The Floral Origins of Sweet Delights

For millennia, flower petals have been used as a curative, food, and sweet. Rosewater, for example, originated in Persia and found a place in marzipan and Turkish delight in Europe where it was introduced by the Crusaders. The idea of using flowers in candy, or even as candy, began in the Middle East, where petals were pulverized and coated with sugar. Petal love continued throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the U.S. where they appeared in Martha Washington’s Cookbook as well as African American cookbook author, Rufus Estes’ about one hundred years later. For the full story of rose petal delights, see what Susan said in her book “Sweet as Sin.”
