Pink Rose Petals, Rosa carina, are also called organic rose petals, food grade rose petals, edible rose petals, dried rose petals, or culinary rose petals.

Typical garden-variety roses have lost their scent and flavor due to many years of cross breeding for the perfect “look.” Our Organic Pink Rose Petals are cultivated from organic roses that are left to bloom beautifully and flavorfully without aesthetic pressure.

Pink Rose Petals are popular with coffee and tea manufacturers; condiment companies; Middle Eastern restaurants; coffee shops; food trucks; seasoning companies; independent spice shops; distillers; and brewers.
