Prep notes
The cream umbels, not the berries (those are a separate fruit). Perfume is the food; nutrition is modest. Strip flowers from the bitter stems. The tisane is a third entry.
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.
