Cutting And Selling Flor De Calabaza (Squash Blossom) In Mexico

View of pumpkin flowers on a table to make bunches with raffia inside a house in Tlahuac, Mexico City. The squash flower is bright and colorful, and is extremely short-lived, with some species only opening for one day. The characteristic yellow-orange pigment of the pumpkin flower indicates that it contains flavonoids, compounds that function as antioxidants, which inhibit the oxidation of artery-clogging bad cholesterol.
