Nature Cookta Milk thistle seed oil 250 ml

The marbled-leaved annual plant not only has many names, but also many legends and speculations about its origins. The biological explanation is that a lack of chlorophyll is the cause of its leaf pattern, which allows it to blend in better with its environment and thus have a better chance of survival.

According to a folk tale, its pattern can be traced back to the fact that Mary was feeding her baby while fleeing and a few drops of breast milk fell on the leaves of the plant. From then on, all Mary's thistles grew marbled leaves with a white pattern. It survives in areas where other plants survive less or not at all.

In 2013, this sweet-smelling plant was awarded the title of Herb of the Year by the Herbal Section of the Hungarian Pharmaceutical Society. Its history includes the fact that it was first used only as a fuel, its true importance being discovered much later. The prickly peach can grow to a height of one and a half to two metres, but its most important part is its seed, which is considered an ancient medicinal plant.

Milk thistle seed oil in the kitchen:

The oil, made by cold pressing, can be used in all dishes to which we would add vegetable oil anyway. This special kitchen ingredient is a great addition to cold dishes, sandwiches and salads. It can also be added to dressings for an unrivalled combination of flavours, or eaten on its own.

The consumption of marigold seed oil is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and a varied, balanced diet.
