Dried black locust blossoms harvested from the Robinia pseudoacacia tree, also called false acacia. Each bag holds loose whole flowers with their natural sweet, honeyed aroma intact. A springtime botanical long enjoyed across Europe and Asia for both the kitchen and the teapot, packed to keep the delicate blooms whole and fragrant.
The flavor is gentle and naturally sweet, with notes of honey, fresh green peas, and a soft hint of vanilla. This mild floral character makes the blossoms easy to pair with sugar, citrus, or vanilla in desserts, and pleasant enough to enjoy on their own without turning bitter or grassy.
A versatile culinary flower for classic spring recipes. Dip the clusters in light batter for fritters, simmer them into cordial or syrup, or fold them into pancakes, jelly, sorbet, cookies, and muffins. The blooms rehydrate quickly, so a small handful adds floral sweetness to both sweet and savory dishes.
These blossoms also make a caffeine free herbal infusion. Steep about one tablespoon of the dried blooms in freshly boiled water for five to seven minutes, then strain, for a light golden cup with a honey like fragrance. Enjoy it warm or chilled over ice, and add a touch of lemon to round out the naturally soft flavor.
Single ingredient dried flowers with no sweeteners or fillers added. Reseal the pouch and keep it in a cool, dry, dark spot away from moisture to protect the color and scent. Offered in two pack sizes, so you can try a smaller amount first or stock up for regular baking, brewing, and seasonal cooking.
