Thank you.

Warning!! if you are using squash blossoms, be very careful to examine the inside of the blossoms outdoors. If you grow squashes, you probably notice that squash blossoms are very perfume-my and they attract a lot of bees. Half the time you will find bees and other insects inside. You don't want to get stung and have bees inside your home.

Agree.

Like heidih said. The key is to be very careful in the use of minimum and simple batter. Even so the extreme heat of frying does evaporate a great deal of the delicate fragrance that you can enjoy if you eat the blossom raw.
