YARROW SEED FLOUR 150G ELEO - Altai Specialist ( rastoropsha)

Product Overview

ALTAI SPECIALIST Eleo Milk Thistle Seed Flour is a food flour made from finely ground milk thistle seeds. People usually choose this kind of product when they want to enrich meals with more fibre and plant protein, while adding variety to porridge, smoothies, yoghurt or savoury dishes. It has a mildly herby, slightly bitter taste that works best when mixed into other foods rather than used on its own like regular baking flour.

Key Components

Milk thistle, also known as Silybum marianum, has a long history of use in European and Mediterranean herbal traditions. In this flour, the seed naturally provides several notable components:

• dietary fibre
• plant protein
• linoleic acid
• silymarin (contains silibinin, silydianin, silychristin)

In simple terms, silymarin is a group of plant compounds found in the seed, including silibinin, silydianin and silychristin. Because these compounds are concentrated in the seed itself, grinding the whole seed into flour keeps them as part of the food.

Nutritional Benefits

The nutritional profile is what makes this product practical in an everyday diet. Fibre helps make meals more substantial, plant protein adds to the overall nutrient value of breakfast or snacks, and the naturally present unsaturated fats contribute to the seed’s characteristic composition. This makes milk thistle seed flour a good fit for people who like to build simple, functional meals from pantry staples instead of relying only on plain cereals or white flour products.

Usage and Cautions

It suits those who enjoy adding small amounts of specialty seed flour to smoothies, porridge, soups or yoghurt, especially if they appreciate more bitter, botanical notes in food. It can also be combined with other flours in home cooking, though its flavour is usually better as an addition than as the main base. If you are new to milk thistle, starting with a modest amount can help you get used to the taste.

• Add small amounts to smoothies, porridge, soups or yoghurt for a bitter, botanical note.
• Combine with other flours in home cooking.
• Start with a modest amount if new to milk thistle.

As this is a concentrated seed product, it is sensible to use it as part of a balanced diet rather than in large amounts. People who react to plants from the Asteraceae family, such as chamomile, ragweed or marigold, should be cautious. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking regular medication or have questions about herbs in your menu, it is wise to check with a healthcare professional.
