Prep notes
Dried leaf. Calcium and vitamin K are why herbalists boil it. Brewed cup figures vary by leaf amount and steep time; this atlas row is the catalogue entry as sold.
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.
