Ensuring Nutritional and Functional Quality in Edible Flowers Supporting Global Goals
A research team investigated the carotenoid and quercetin content in marigold flowers, aiming to ensure consistent quality for edible flower applications. The results demonstrate that marigolds are not only ornamental but also functional, with potential as sources of antioxidants and natural colorants. This supports SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).

The study underlines the importance of standardizing quality assurance for edible flowers to enhance their role in nutrition and food innovation. This approach fosters healthier dietary options while supporting sustainable horticultural practices.
