Marigold / Sevvanthi / Banthipoolu

Fresh Marigolds are imported from Thailand and India.  These are sold by weight. 

• In flower arrangements, strip off any leaves that might be underwater in the vase; this will discourage the overly pungent odour.
• Marigolds can be dried for long-lasting floral arrangements. Strip foliage from perfect blossoms and hang them upside down.
• You may see “marigolds” listed as edible flowers. In fact, it’s the flowers of Calendula—not Tagetes—that make great additions to a summer dish. Flowers from Tagetes marigolds can be irritating to the skin, so we do not recommend ingesting them.
