                                While most lavender is technically edible, not all dried lavender is food safe for culinary purposes. The safety and flavor depend heavily on the specific lavender species and how it was grown. Using the wrong type can lead to a bitter, soapy, or chemical-tasting dish, or worse, introduce dangerous pesticides.
