Echinacea purpurea ‘Magnus’

Organic Red Coneflower

EDIBLE PART OF THE PLANT

Flower and leaf

Echinacea has been the most important medicinal plant among the Native Americans for centuries. In Europe, it’s benefits are known mostly thanks to doctor A. Vogel. His famous Echinaforce, named after this plant, literally means: "Coneflower power" or "Power of the Coneflower". The plant can be used to make tea. A tablespoon of flowers and leaves of the Echinacea. Pour two decilitres of boiling water on top and let it sit for five minutes. The petals of this eye-catcher are beautiful to use as garnish. Alone, or in combination with other edible flowers. The slightly spicy taste of the flowers is not too bad if you only a few of these beautiful leaves per dish.

The Coneflower is packed with medicinal properties: It purifies the blood, it’s an analgesic, has anti-infection and anti-inflammatory properties, and also increases resistance as a whole!
