Recipe: Goldenrod Cornbread
Spicy invasive flowers add some kick to this sweet cornbread recipe.
Goldenrod Preparation
Canada goldenrod is a weedy native in the US Midwest and Canada but considered quite invasive in Europe and Asia. You’ll help slow the invasion with this recipe by removing flowers (the plant’s reproductive organs) from their stems. To prepare flowers for cooking, begin by rinsing the flowers off under cool tap water. Lay the flowers flat on a cutting board and scrape from the base of the flower to the flower tips with a paring knife to remove them.
