OVERVIEW:
Calendula, nicknamed “sun-bride”, can be used as a garnish on just about any dish. Enjoy them on salads, salsas, scrambled eggs, and frittatas. Calendula is slightly bitter and somewhat salty and can be added to soups and stews in the winter as an immune tonic. Calendula is loaded with powerful skin-healing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, yet it is gentle.
