But before we do that, we want to highlight a couple of important rules when picking pumpkin flowers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It is only male flowers that you can picked for cooking, and you must not take male flowers in one concentrated area, spread it out and pick some here and some there, so it does not destroy the pollination work that the bees perform. Female flowers are those who become pumpkins later, so this is the farmers money, so let them be.<\/li>\n
  2. You must ALWAYS talk to the farmer who owns the land and cultivation for permission to pick the flowers, and when doing that you should also show him that you can distinguish between male and female flowers, so that he understands that you will not ruin his future income.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to distinguish the male and female flowers from each other will we tell and show you at the end of this articel.<\/p>\n

    So to the delicacy that we have around us right now.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    Fried Pumpkin Flowers.<\/h3>\n

    This we need for about 4 people, but it’s so good, so for us it\u2019s just for two J<\/p>\n

    150 g flour<\/p>\n

Pour in the water in the bowl and start to stir it with a fork or whisk, I prefer to work with a fork, but it’s a little personal how to do.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]\"Friterade[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]3.

    In the meantime, we’ll take care of the flowers and prepare them. It\u2019s also time to put the cooking oil on the stove so that it comes up at the right temperature until we need it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text]\"Recept[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]4.

    7.

    You can of course use other flowers too, such as zucchini flowers, and sage leaves are good to fry like this also.<\/p>\n

    Below a little bit about how you distinguish between male and female flowers, it\u2019s essential to know.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\"Recept[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
