Prep notes
Petals, not the ornamental Tagetes marigold. A colouring herb — modest vitamin A, not a salad's nutrition. Peppery-bitter.
Season
Often seasonal where grown; year-round when imported or stored.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
