Wild Crafted Calendula Petals Dried ~ 100% Premium Natural
Botanical Name: Calendula Officinalis
Calendula is a European herb in the sunflower family that is also known as ruddles, marybud, pot marigold, summer's bride, husbandman's dial. The latter refers to the flower’s tendency to follow the sun. In fact, the genus name for Calendula is taken from the Latin phrase that means, “little clock.”
Historically, calendula has been used to produce various preparations for skin and hair. It is a traditional ingredient in soaps, salves and balms and in lotions and creams formulated to address dry or irritated skin. Calendula tea is used as a final rinse to add golden highlights to lighter shades of hair.
In cooking, calendula is a popular tea ingredient. The herb also lends subtle flavor and color to soups, broths and other liquids, as well as rice. In fact, calendula is often used as an alternative saffron, earning the herb the nickname “poor man’s saffron.”
Citrus-like with a peppery or bitter finish. Works well with peppermint, rose, cornflower, chamomile and lavender in cooking and in tea blends.
