Are dahlia roots edible?

Are dahlia roots edible?

1. Not recommended for consumption

The root of dahlia is a mutated root system, so it is swollen and looks a bit like sweet potato, so it also has another nickname, sweet potato flower. As a bulbous flower of the Asteraceae family, its roots are actually edible, but it is not recommended that you eat its roots casually.

2. Ornamental Effect

The dahlias we usually cultivate are mainly cultivated for ornamental purposes. The fertilizers and pesticides used in the soil cultivation environment are not for edible purposes, so the standards will be different. If you don't understand the cultivation environment and directly eat its bulbs, it may cause some adverse reactions, so everyone needs to pay attention to this.
