This Rose day, don’t gift a rose, eat it!

It’s Rose Day today and you are probably looking at buying those red flowers which would probably cost you a bomb. They will fetch you a smile, a hug and probably a kiss from your sweetheart and then they will be assigned to the confines of a flower vase, to be left to wilt and perish. But rose is much more than a flower to be plucked and used for decor. It is a medicinal flower and can be used for adding taste, romance and good health to your food that you can relish with your sweetheart. So what’s better than cooking a romantic meal with this flower on this special day. Rose which has traditionally used in food, soups, syrups and even medicines can amp up your dinner tonight.
