Candied rose petals were a favorite of the well-to-do 18th and early 19th centuries. They have a subtle crunch and delicate sweet flavor.  Enjoy them for a bit of after-dinner refreshment,  a topping on cakes and other confections,  or as a finish to a cup of tea.  The roses we enjoy likely originated in China millions of years ago, although roses are native to North America, as well. These petals are from a shop in Toulouse, France which opened in 1818.

1/8 oz in a heat-sealed bag with the history on the label.
