About Imeretian marigold petals

Imeretian marigold petals are dried petals of marigold flowers used as a seasoning, especially in Georgian cooking. The dried material is typically yellow-orange to reddish and may be sold as loose petals or ground into a powder. Its flavour is aromatic and earthy, with a floral quality and mild bitterness.

The petals are used to add colour and flavour to foods, often in small amounts. Whole dried petals and ground seasoning can differ in intensity and texture, and storage affects aroma. The name refers to a dried marigold seasoning rather than saffron, despite its occasional comparison to saffron.
