　　Her fiancée was at work, so Youyou sent him a video sharing her project. She received three words in response: cannot be eaten.

　　Youyou's mother also raised doubts when she saw the "jam." "Are the roses edible⁴?" she asked her daughter.

　　悠悠只能转向科普期刊《博物杂志》求助。不过在问题还未得到解决之前就已被网友大军们关注。

　　As a foodie, most of Youyou's posts are related to food. The "jam" was ultimately thrownaway by her father. But the question still remains⁵: Was Youyou's rose jam edible?

　　作为一枚吃货，悠悠的大部分博文都和吃有关。这次玫瑰花酱最终被她的爸爸倒掉了。但问题仍存在：“悠悠做的玫瑰花酱到底能吃么？”

　　The official Weibo of Bowu Magazine offered a response: It cannot be eaten. First, the flowers were not cultivated to be eaten, and therefore contained pesticide⁶. Secondly⁷, the flowers Youyou used were modern Chinese roses rather than real roses. The Chinese rose has no sweet smell.

　　《博物杂志》官方微博给出了回答：“不能吃。首先这不是当做食物来种植的，所以农药多。第二这是现代月季，只是商品名叫'玫瑰'，并没有真正玫瑰的独特香味。”
