Prep notes
The yellow heads, petals picked off the bitter green base. Less vitamin A than the greens, more iron than you expect from a flower. The greens are a separate atlas 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.
