It belongs to the Asteraceae family and is recognized for its distinctive purple flowers and spiny leaves. Traditionally, milk thistle seeds have been used in herbal remedies, primarily for their potential benefits related to liver health and detoxification, often prepared as extracts or ground into powders. The seeds have a mild, nutty flavor, making them suitable for culinary uses in salads, smoothies, and baked goods. Historically, milk thistle has been valued for its medicinal properties, especially in traditional herbal medicine where it has been associated with promoting liver function and managing digestive issues.*
