Milk thistle was originally grown in Austria, Hungary and Argentina. The plant itself grows to between 20 and 150 cm in height. The leaves are about 8 mm long and have very sharp thorns. The fruit grow to approximately 4 cm in size, are black and shiny and exhibit a somewhat furry 15-20 mm long "hair growth".
Today, milk thistle is found mainly in the Mediterranean. The fruits ripen in August and are then cut, harvested and cleaned.
Our milk thistle seeds are a natural raw material for teas, extracts, food supplements, natural cosmetics, scented pillows and for the extraction of polyphenols.
