Charbroiled rape blossoms
Nanohana is a general term for flowers of the Brassicaceae family.
Many cruciferous vegetables are grown on traditional farms, and various varieties of rapeseed are being harvested at this time of year.
Rape blossoms just before they bloom are packed with nutrients and are especially delicious when picked that morning.
Since the taste of rape blossoms varies greatly depending on the variety, cooking methods are devised to suit each variety.
Kale flowers have a distinctive broccoli-like aroma and sweetness.
Serve charcoal grilled with egg yolk sauce.
