Didn't know you could do this! I mean, you can pickle anything, obvs, but I didn't know it was a thing.

They taste strongly of ginger. I’ve eaten them in salads before but this is my first shot at pickling. It’ll be ready tomorrow. Illl let you know!

I've never picked these, but meant to be great for insomnia and other things...

Don't find magnolias often up here

Tastes of ginger…good with East Asian food.

tamski.bsky.social•355 days ago

Haven't seen one here, there possibly is one or two, but I haven't noticed them yet...

Oooh what do you do with the pickled petals?

They taste very gingery…I’ve had them in salads before, but this is my first time pickling them. Apparently nice served like pickled ginger with sushi or as a light pickled side with Asian food. We’re going to try them in a poke bowl tomorrow.

Do you use vinegar to pickle them. We ate some off a tree in Lyon at the weekend.

I used rice vinegar. (With a bit of star anise and garlic). It was pretty good on bibimbap or noodles. Doesn’t save long.
