Parma Violets x50 Rolls

Product Information

Violets have always been a symbol of delicateness and aesthetics, and unequivocally a sign of approaching spring. No wonder then that these aromatic little blooms are a the embodiment of an Italian spring garden, a Lavolio and an edible flower favourite. For me, carpets of purple, blue-violet coloured flowers with heart-shaped leaves, these low growing plants have a strong presence. Easier to spot and appreciate when in flower, they are perennials, so return every year with their purple heads. Found across Europe, including most of the British Isles, I also love their French name; violette and North American varieties are known as wood violets or common blue violets. Ingredients include sugar, stearic acid, modified starch, glucose syrup, and anthocyanin.

[2] Biography [ edit ] Found around woodland edges and hedgerows, violets thrive in humus-rich soil that is moisture retentive and well-drained. Semi-shade is the ideal light level; they will grow happily in sun, if the soil never dries out; violets grown in shade often have longer stems, which makes them better for cutting. If you have an open fire, they appreciate an annual or bi-annual mulch with chimney soot to keep them healthy, after flowering and again in late summer.

The Viola Odorata , or sweet wood violet, is commonly the one that grows in the wild, with blue petals and heart-shaped leaves. The flavour profile is sweet to mildly “green”, and the best way to assess this is always to taste. Highly perfumed violets work best in beverages, teas and desserts. Both the flowers and the leaves of this variety are edible; even though they taste better when eaten raw (with the stems clipped off -they tend to be quite grassy), you can boil the leaves in water to create an infusion which presents a number of health benefits, including curing respiratory inflammations; the infusion of its petals helps to decrease hydric retention, thanks to its diuretic properties. Violas and pansies ( especially Viola Tricolor , also known as 'Johnny Jump Ups' or Heartsease) tend to have multiple-coloured petals with thin, serrated leaves on stalks. The fresh flowers are edible and they have a greener flavour (think of it as resembling slightly the flavour of green peas -bright and crunchy, with a hint of pepper). Although they work fairly well in sweets, they are less aromatic than violets; they are wonderful in savoury dishes such as salads, soups, fish dishes or even deep-fried like you would a courgette flower; in France, these beautiful flowers have often been used in meat dishes, especially veal.

Aside from Greek and Christian mythology, violets have also been associated with other cultures and beliefs. In Japan, violets are believed to have healing properties and are often used in traditional medicine. In Victorian England, violets were a symbol of modesty and were often given as gifts to express one’s feelings of shyness or humility.
