Frequently Asked Questions

Are dianthus flowers safe to eat?

Yes. Dianthus (Dianthus spp.) petals have been used in cooking and confectionery for centuries. Petite Ingredient's flowers are certified organic, edible-grade, and grown to food production standards in Australia. As with all edible flowers, only consume flowers that are specifically sold and certified as edible — garden or florist flowers are not safe for food use.

How do I store dried organic dianthus flowers?

Store the sealed jar in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. The 2–4 year shelf life makes them a reliable pantry item for professional cake decorators. Reseal after use to maintain the sweet clove-like fragrance and keep humidity out.
