Chrysanthemum
Food-grade chrysanthemum flowers bring a floral detail to infusions and botanical blends. Choose the named culinary preparation.
Meet the flower through its food format.
Chrysanthemum is a broad flower name with many cultivated forms. Food-grade dried flowers are different from florist plants. The CHERRish SLEEP ingredient material names Hangbaiju, a white chrysanthemum preparation, alongside tart cherry, jujube, kiwi and apple. That ingredient name does not verify a particular farm or growing location.
Find your format.
Dried culinary flowers
Look for flowers sold for food or infusion use, with a clear ingredient description and preparation directions.
Infusion preparation
A flower infusion can be sold loose or in a bag. Follow the producer's quantity, water temperature and steeping time.
Botanical blend
A prepared drink may include fruit and other botanicals. Read every ingredient rather than choosing by flower name alone.
A place to start.
Choose a food-grade product
Use flowers clearly sold for culinary preparation. Do not substitute flowers from a florist or ornamental garden.

Taste the floral detail alongside the other ingredients. Store the remaining product according to its label.
A flower name is a starting point
