Meadow Chrysanthemum (White Daisy) – Organic
4.19$
“No plant from the Old World has become more completely naturalized than the daisy, which covers our fields in summer and gives the dominant note to the landscape. » This observation by Brother Marie-Victorin remains true, because the daisy still colonizes the meadows, wastelands, roadsides and embankments of the province.
The height of the plants varies between 30 and 80 cm and everyone knows its white flowers with a golden yellow center which are leafed out during the summer months.
However, we know less about its medicinal properties which are similar to those of chamomile. The whole plant, but especially the flowers, has antitussive, diuretic, tonic, emmenagogue, diaphoretic and antispasmodic properties.
In the kitchen
Despite their somewhat leathery texture, the young leaves are appreciated in salads for their slightly balsamic taste. You can also put it in soups or in sautéed vegetable dishes.
The young flower buds, once marinated, are a good substitute for capers. They are very popular with epicureans.
The young stem garnished with flower buds can also be chopped and added to salads, steamed or incorporated into an omelette.
As for the white rays of the flowers, they decorate the dishes nicely without adding much taste to them.
