| 説明 | Part of the Healing Giant display at Kew Gardens, Richmond, Surrey.Calendula officinalis, the pot marigold, common marigold, ruddles, Mary's gold or Scotch marigold, is a flowering plant in the daisy family, Asteraceae. It is probably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown. It is also widely naturalised farther north in Europe (as far north as southern England) and elsewhere in warm temperate regions of the world.Pot marigold florets are edible. They may be used to add colour to salads or added to dishes as a garnish in lieu of saffron. While the leaves are also edible, they are generally not considered tasty, though historically they have been incorporated into potherb and salads. Additionally, the plant is utilized for making tea.Flowers were used in ancient Greek, Roman, Middle Eastern, and Indian cultures as a medicinal herb, as well as a dye for fabrics, foods, and cosmetics. Many of these uses persist today. They are also used to make an oil that is widely used in skin products.Marigold leaves can also be made into a poultice that is believed to help scratches and shallow cuts to heal faster, and to help prevent infection. It has also been used in eye drops. |
