About Loroco flower buds
Loroco flower buds are the unopened buds of a Central American edible flowering plant, used as a vegetable and seasoning. The small buds are typically green and firm, with a distinctive aromatic, vegetal flavour that can be pungent or floral. They are generally used cooked rather than eaten as a raw garnish.
They may be sold fresh, frozen, or preserved, including in brined forms. Fresh buds are tender once cooked, while freezing and preservation can change their texture and saltiness. The term refers to the flower buds, not to the plant’s leaves or other parts.
