Share Sonia Ibidhi poses with pots of nasturtiums in the greenhouse of her small farm where she produces edible flowers, in the northwestern Tunisian coastal town of Tabarka. AFP Edible flowers bloom at Tunisian markets Mon, 22 February 2021 A Tunisian entrepreneur growing edible flowers says she is surprised by the appetite for her homegrown product in the North African country and hopes to see a “new culinary culture” bloom. Sonia Ibidhi, a 42-year-old journalist, turned to organic farming of the niche but in-demand product “out of love” for working on the land. Among the flowers she grows are borage, a blue star-shaped flower that tastes like cucumber, chive flowers – purple blossoms with a flavour similar to onion – and nasturtiums, bright yellow to orange flowers with a radish-like taste.
