About Pumpkin flower

Pumpkin flowers are the blossoms of pumpkin plants, sold fresh with their stems and sometimes small attached fruits. They are delicate, with thin yellow to orange petals and a soft, tender texture; their flavour is mild, lightly vegetal and faintly sweet.

The flowers may be used whole, or the central reproductive parts may be removed before cooking. They are commonly cooked soon after harvest because the petals are fragile. Raw and cooked flowers differ in texture, and preparation can range from brief cooking to battering or stuffing.
