Embrace Something New with Milk Thistle Seed

Milk thistle, a member of the daisy family originating from the Mediterranean region, is distinguished by clusters of purple flower heads encircled by a protective fringe of thorns. Renowned for its association with the Virgin Mary, who is said to have shed tears over the plant, it goes by various names such as Holy Thistle, Blessed Thistle, Mary Thistle, and Lady’s Thistle. The plant's seeds, rich in amino acids and protein, notably contain a group of chemical compounds known as silymarin. While these seeds can be incorporated into salads and various foods, they are predominantly harvested for the creation of teas, infusions, tinctures, and extracts.
