Nature Tuesday ~ Ordinary primula (primrose) is more than just a harbinger of spring

In nature, we see a lot of flowers. Maybe many people do not even know that a flower is also healing. Even an Ordinary primula often overlooks the healing edge at the expense of his decorative role. Ordinary primula is also widely used in the kitchen. You can put it in your mouth during picking to taste the sweet nectar that is hidden in it. Young leaves, but not too much, because they contain saponins, and the flowers are prepared in fresh salads. Cook a few older leaves as soups. They also contain a lot of vitamin C, so they can be added to the hot tea during the cold season. Slovenian healing legislation classifies Ordinary primula into a group that has the same legal status as food.
