Prep notes
Mucilaginous root. Calcium and fibre. Cold-infused it thickens like a thin jelly. The sweet is the mucilage, not sugar. Brewed cup figures vary by leaf amount and steep time; this atlas row is the catalogue entry as sold.
Caution
Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
