Frontier Co-op Dried Calendula Flower Petals, 8 oz, Bulk Bag - For Herbal Teas, Culinary Use, and DIY Skincare

Product description

• CALENDULA FLOWER PETALS - Frontier Co-op Calendula Flower Petals, also known as marigold, have a rich history of use dating back to the 1100s in Central and Southern Europe. These petals contribute a subtly bitter and salty taste to foods. Calendula is an annual flower native to the northern Mediterranean countries, recognized for both culinary and herbal uses.
• BEST USES - Renowned for its skin-soothing properties, calendula is a popular ingredient in various skincare products like salves, body washes, creams, ointments, and lotions. In culinary applications, only the petals are edible, and they can be used in teas, salads, to color cheese, and as a saffron substitute. The flowers, ranging from yellow to bright orange, add an attractive touch to borders, and the plant blooms continuously in warmer climates or throughout the summer in cooler regions.
