has anyone tried these? is it worth it?

i amgrowing zuccini for my first time. the flowers are still twisted up and
havent opened yet,and they feel so delicate i would think i would need at least
100 to be worth eating.

not to mention that by eating thje flowers you wont get any zuccini. just
curios on any thoughts, perhaps my plant will be so prolofic that we can eat
some flowers and still have fruits to harvest?

You eat the male flowers first of all, the ones without the swelling
at the base of the flowers.

And it's worth it if you like the batter you fry them in. Fried
squash blossoms have been around for ages. You can eat the day lily
buds too I think the same way, battered and deep fried. Check on that
or someone will scream if I'm wrong. ;-)
