Abstract (EN): Edible flowers have become the latest food fashion, such as in United Kingdom, Portugal and Australia, making this niche market very challenging. Producers and points of sale of edible flowers (supermarkets, local markets, online) are increasing around the world, whereas consumers and professional chefs are demanding higher quality products. Despite being a growing market, information available on production, export and import is still scarce, without statistical data, with information restricted to that given by some producers and points of sale. So, this review aims to provide valuable information on the current situation of the edible flowers' world market, with particular emphasis in Portugal, as well as, to give knowledge about legislation, promotional projects and campaigns, consumers and chefs perceptions, and to indicate the future trends regarding edible flowers.
