Shop products for Pansies 
Pansies make a pretty garnish for salads and desserts.
Pansies are members of the violet family, and the patterns that mark pansy petals are
thought to resemble a face in contemplation. Pansies are slightly sweet, with a delicate
vegetal flavour. VarietiesPansies appear in a wide variety of colours, including purple, blue, maroon, yellow, red,
orange, and white, with bicolor and tricolor varieties as well. Buying and storing tipsPansies can be found in the produce section of some health food stores, specialty markets,
and supermarkets. Look for fresh blossoms with no signs of wilting or browning. Store them
loosely packed in a paper towel placed in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. AvailabilityPansies are available all year long, but peak in early spring months. Preparation, uses, and tipsImmerse blossoms in cool water to flush out any tiny insects, and dry thoroughly in a salad
spinner. Add to salads using field greens, or use as a garnish for desserts.
