Viola Tiger Eye is a specific cultivar of viola, known for its striking appearance with petals that resemble the colors of a tiger's eye gemstone — shades of golden yellow with streaks of brown or orange.
It is commonly used in culinary applications. The petals have a mild, slightly sweet flavor, making them a popular choice for both garnishing and incorporating into dishes.
The Viola Tiger Eyes can be used fresh as a colorful garnish on salads, desserts, and drinks. They can also be crystallized or candied to preserve their appearance and used as decorations on cakes and pastries.
