Edible flowers have a good nutritional impact worldwide. West Bengal has a rich source of edible flowers consumed commonly. These flowers enhance the visual appeal of food and increase nutrient intake. This study aims to compare the mineral content of different edible flowers involving altogether forty-two species. This review focused on the various nutritional properties of various edible flowers based on several research performed until now. For maintaining good health and preventing various diseases minerals are required. Essential minerals (phosphorus, copper, potassium, calcium, zinc, sodium, iron, manganese and selenium) are present in edible flowers which are greatly beneficial for our bodies. Analytical techniques enable us to quantify the concentration of a particular mineral precisely. Potassium is the most abundantly found element in the flower of Oenothera biennis with a content of 7995 mg/100g followed by Calendula officinalis L. 7639mg/100g and Viola tricolor L. 7019mg/100g. This study concludes that it provides information based on the mineral content of these edible flowers and their potential role in the diet. Therefore, the mineral analysis study of these edible flowers can be helpful for future dietary recommendations.
