St Mary’s thistle seed, also known as milk thistle seed (Silybum marianum), is a small, mottled seed harvested from the vibrant purple flower heads of the St Mary’s thistle plant. These seeds are valued for their mild, nutty flavour, making them a versatile addition to both sweet and savoury recipes. They can be ground and sprinkled over cereals, blended into smoothies, or added to baked goods and salads for a gentle crunch and subtle taste.
The seeds are especially renowned for their natural content of silymarin, a group of plant compounds known for their antioxidant properties. Traditionally, St Mary’s thistle seed has been used in herbal teas, decoctions, and as a functional ingredient in wellness blends. Ground seeds can also be incorporated into soups or used as a nutritious topping for yoghurt and porridge.
To enjoy their benefits, St Mary’s thistle seeds can be consumed whole, ground into a powder, or steeped as a tea. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to preserve their freshness and potency. Their gentle flavour and versatility make them a valuable addition to both everyday meals and creative culinary projects
