Common Daisy
3,55 $
With dandelions, daisies are one of the first flowers we learn to identify as a kid. It fits perfectly into wildflower bouquets, and can even help us find our soulmate: they love me, they love me not, they love me, they love me not…
Moreover, the young fresh leaves can be eaten in a salad. Their taste is a little peppery. The flower bud can also be eaten, raw or like capers. In herbal medicine, dried daisy flowers are used for infusions. Daisy have antispasmodic, calming, digestive, and astringent properties, just like chamomile. It makes sense as they are from the same family.
