Editing Magnolia (section)

===Culinary===
The flowers of many species are considered edible. In parts of England, the petals of ''M. grandiflora'' are pickled and used as a spicy [[condiment]]{{citation needed|date=August 2024}}. In some Asian cuisines, the buds are pickled and used to flavor rice and scent tea. In Japan, the young leaves and flower buds of ''[[Magnolia hypoleuca|M. hypoleuca]]'' are broiled and eaten as a vegetable. Older leaves are made into a powder and used as seasoning; dried, whole leaves are placed on a charcoal brazier and filled with [[miso]], leeks, [[daikon]], and [[shiitake]], and broiled. There is a type of [[miso]] which is seasoned with magnolia, hoba miso.<ref>{{cite book |author=Facciola, S. |series=Cornucopia |volume=I |title=A Source Book of Edible Plants |publisher=Kampong Publications |year=1990 |isbn=0-9628087-0-9}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author=Facciola, S. |series=Cornucopia |volume=II |title=A Source Book of Edible Plants |publisher=Kampong Publications |year=1998 |isbn=0-9628087-2-5}}</ref>
