While many people are surprised to learn that roses are edible, the petals of true rose (*Rosa ssp.*) species are safe for human consumption, provided they are cultivated specifically for culinary use. So, **can you digest rose petals**? Yes, but your body primarily processes them as dietary fiber, which offers benefits without being fully absorbed for energy.

According to nutritional data, edible rose petals and their fruit, rose hips, contain an almost negligible amount of sodium. This makes them an excellent and flavorful addition to a low-sodium nutrition diet for those monitoring their intake for health reasons.
