DayliliesDaylilies are a grassy-looking plant that puts up lily-like flowers during the summer, dying down in the winter only to return each year. This tasty food isn't yet recognized as such yet in most of North America, popular though it is in much of the rest of the world. If harvested when newly opened, each daylily flower can be found to contain a tiny pool of nectar at the base of the blossom. The taste of the flower itself is mild and bland, slightly sweet. In some areas, the unopened buds are battered and deep-fried, and are considered a delicacy. The roots are also edible, and can be roasted whole, or used to produce a high-grade starch. Canaries adore daylilies in any form, and will readily eat any part of the plant they are presented with and look for more. Find out more about daylilies as food here. |
