Cutting And Selling Flor De Calabaza (Squash Blossom) In Mexico
Luis and Yamileth Ortega Padron, siblings, farmers and students, during the cutting and harvesting of squash blossom in a property in the Tlahuac mayor's office, 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.
