Squash blossoms/pumpkin blossoms in DFW

[houndess]

I live in Flower Mound and am willing to travel to any farmers market in the metroplex for squash or pumpkin blossoms.Outside of farmers markets, are there any othere places where you can get these blossoms? I missed them last spring and dont want to miss them this year. Any information is appreciated.

I got some squash blossoms last year at Central Market. They were pre-packaged, but worked fine for me. If you have space, why not plant some squash seeds and grow your own. That's what I'm trying this year.

I hope you have room, those things (and Zucchini) can go crazy

call a florist, esp. high-end ones (seriously)

I would try Tom Spicer's 1410 on Fitzhugh in Dallas. But, call first.

Squash blossom will not happen until July-Sept when squash in really in full swing. Pumpkin blossoms I have never heard of used in culinary uses....not saying there aren't. Pumpkin will be around the same time maybe into October. There might be some at teh local Latin markets that are from Mexico.

Pumpkin blossoms are used widely in Indian cuisine. In Eastern India. Other than Latin markets, have you seen any in Dallas Farmers Market?
