Rose petals contain polyphenols, antioxidants that work to protect your body from cell damage. The polyphenols in rose tea have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cognitive diseases. Also, fresh rose petals not only look beautiful, but they are completely edible too! If you're having a dinner party or serving a fruit based dessert, adding rose petals can be a delightful surprise. They have a floral scent and taste, and can be eaten with fruits and sweet treats.
