An annual or biennial herb growing up to 10 feet tall, Milk Thistle has a large bright purple flowering head. It is often considered a pesky weed. It gains its name from the milk white veins that streak its prickly-edged leaves. The plant contains the natural chemical substance Silymarin, an active constituent highly concentrated in the fruit, but also found in the seeds and leaves. Milk Thistle has been used as both a food and a health aid for hundreds of years. it makes a delicious salad green and cooked vegetable, as well as a wholesome tea.   Manufacturer's Supplement Info/Ingredients Suggested Use: Place one herbal teabag into a cup and add no more than 6 ounces of boiling water. Let steep for 2-3 minutes and then remove the teabag. Press the teabag before removing to enhance the flavor.
