April 13, 2018 at 7:30 pmIi believe all true violets are edible, Sandra, and they are some of the most nutrient rich of all the flowers. Here’s a good article on identifying them: http://foragedfoodie.blogspot.com/2017/03/foraging-for-wild-violets.html
According to the American Violet Society the African Violet is not a true wild violet and is not edible.
