How should milk thistle flour be added to food, and where should you start? — Milk Thistle Seed Flour, 100 g – Biokor

Milk thistle flour does not need to be taken separately — it is added directly to food or drinks. The simplest options are to stir it into kefir or yoghurt, add it to cooked porridge or add it to soup before serving. The flour has a neutral taste with a slight bitterness, so it is barely noticeable in fermented milk products and porridge.

When trying the product for the first time, it makes sense to start with a small amount and watch how your body reacts over a few days before moving on to the full serving — this is how any new plant ingredients with fibre are usually introduced, as a sharp increase in fibre in the diet sometimes causes digestive discomfort. The full serving according to the label is 1 teaspoon (2 g) a day with meals for adults, and it can be taken for up to 1 month.

It is not a good idea to introduce several new herbal supplements at the same time — that makes it harder to understand exactly how your body reacts to a particular product.

The flour should be stored in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, with the pack tightly closed after opening — like any other flour or ground plant material. This helps preserve the taste and quality of the product until the end of its shelf life.
