Nutritional Facts:
Marigold flowers are known for their vibrant color and remarkable health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, which help protect the body from oxidative stress. Additionally, marigolds contain beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which is essential for eye health and immune function, as well as vitamin C and vitamin K, which support skin health, collagen production, and proper blood clotting.
Marigold flowers also possess anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties, making them useful for treating minor skin conditions and soothing inflammation. These properties contribute to their traditional use in natural remedies for skin and wound care.
Storage and Usage Tips:
To keep Marigold Flowers at their freshest, store them in your refrigerator between 36 to 40°F in their clamshell packaging. This helps preserve their vibrant color and flavor.
