Flower food helps cut flowers stay alive for longer periods of time. It provides additional nutrients to the flowers to help them continue developing and maintaining their color even though they've been cut. Flower food can also help regulate the pH levels in the water to maximize solution uptake and control the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi. Usually, commercial flower food includes sucrose (sugars), which helps to feed the flowers and keep them alive; an antifungal; and an acid.

Truth be told, it's not actually food. Cut flowers don't really require anything more than fresh clean water, and the substance known as "flower food" makes sure that's what they get. It's a mild antibacterial agent, and should help keep your water fresh and clear.
