ARE INDIAN MARIGOLDS EDIBLE : 5 posts by 4 authors.
I have seen chefs putting Indian Marigold flowers in their recipes. I have been told that unlike European Marigolds which are edible, Indian marigolds Ganda or Jhendu as we call them in Maharashtra are not edible and can have noxious side-effect.
A word from experts would be helpful
As children some times we used to eat our desi genda-the marigold.
I know that Marigold ray floret s are very good source of beta carotene and used in poultry feed. I have eaten the head of flowers. It is not poisonous. it can be used.
