@fideliaherbs: A prickly edible! And when I say prickly, I mean ouch it's really prickly 😂 This is Silybum marianum, the Milk Thistle. It's THE liver plant. It can literally regenerate your liver however damaged it is. And no other medication can do that! Pretty crazy 🤗 The seeds and leaves can be used in infusions or tinctures. It's also edible : eat the young leaves raw (before they get their prickles) and you can cook the older leaves like spinach. Just make sure you've taken the prickles off. I find this plant amazing and really love it 💚 #nature #silybummarianum #milkthistle #milk #marble #white #leaves #medicinal #healthy #infusions #tinctures #herbal #preparations #harvest #forage #flowers #autumn #fun #happy #fun #Love #naturelover #plants #plantsoftiktok #learn #discover #eductional #botany #botanical #vegetation #green #seeds #wildedible #wildplants
