Description
Chlorella is not a typical plant, it is strictly speaking an alga from the family of freshwater algae. It is often equated with the Spirulina alga, but the two are very different in many aspects.
The microalga has been produced since about 1955, mainly in Southeast Asia and in America. In tropical countries it feels most comfortable, because this is where the optimal climatic conditions for the alga dominate. In cooler regions, chlorella can grow, but a lot slower.
Chlorella is a green alga, which is about the same size as our red blood cells. Even though it is so small, it should not be underestimated. Chlorella has been living in freshwater for billions of years.
Did you know that chlorella can be translated as "little green"? The alga owes its deep green colour to the great amount of chlorophyll it contains.
The milk thistle belongs to the composite family. This plant family also includes for example the marigold and the coneflower.
The origin of the milk thistle is the Mediterranean region - there it naturally grows in dry and sunny places. Over the years, however, milk thistle has spread throughout Europe. Milk thistle sprouts best in sunny places.
Milk thistle is a perennial plant that can reach a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height of two meters. Its root extends far into the depth and forms a tall, branched, bare stem at the surface. The leaves of the plant are large, white spotted and resembles the thistle because of its thorns. The plant blooms between July and August in a eye-catching, purple colour.
Do you want to know how the milk thistle got its name? A legend says that the Virgin Mary dripped on the leaves of the plant during breastfeeding, which created the white spots.
There are up to 2500 nettle types that all belong to the nettle family.
Nettle plants can be found all over the world - except in Antarctica, because the plant does not grow there. Originally, the nettle originates from Central Europe, but over the time it has spread to Northern Europe, Asia and North America.
The stinging nettle is familiar to most people - it is recognized by its heart-shaped leaves with toothed edges. The nettle can reach a height up to 150cm. It is a perennial, resistant plant, which is known to irritate the skin when touched. This is due to the stinging hair on the leaves and stem. For this reason, the nettle is not very appreciated and is considered by many to be an annoying weed.
Did you know the reason for the stinging hair on the plant? They serve as protection from predators. The stinging bristles are filled with formic acid and when you touch the plant, this acid is released and causes unpleasant stings.
Bear's garlic belongs to the leek and onion family and is thus related to the chives, garlic and onion. Botanically speaking, the leek and onion plants belong to the amaryllis family.
Everywhere in Europe, except in some countries of the Mediterranean region, bear's garlic is native. Thus, it is one of the best known native wild herbs and especially popular in the kitchen. However, the popular plant also grows in northern Asia.
Bear's garlic is a perennial plant that can reach a height of 20-50cm. From March to May, it gives off its distinctive, garlicky scent. The leaves are lance-shaped and grow up to 25cm long.
There is the possibility of confusion because the bear's garlic looks very similar to the poisonous lily of the valley. However, the smell of garlic can help to distinguish the bear's garlic from its poisonous double.
Goldenrod, which is also known as golden rue, belongs to the composite family. Botanically, there are two types of goldenrod. On the one hand there is the "true goldenrod", on the other hand the "giant goldenrod".
The goldenrod is native to Europe, whereas the giant goldenrod originates from North America. However, it grows also in Europe nowadays. The plant feels particularly at home along pathways and on mountain slopes. It prefers to grow in nutrient-poor soil on a sunny spot.
The size varies depending on the kind of plant. Giant goldenrod, for example, grows up to 2.5 meters tall, while true goldenrod can grow no more than one meter high. But no matter which goldenrod species you look at, they all stand out with their striking yellow flowers.
Did you know that goldenrod can even be eaten? In the past, when food was limited, its seeds were a common survival food.
The common yarrow belongs to the composite family. Therefore, it is related to the dandelion or arnica, for example.
There is no information about the exact origin of the plant, but it can be found worldwide - mainly in large parts of Europe, northern Asia and the USA. In these countries it can be found growing naturally almost everywhere, as it is a quite adaptive plant.
Yarrow is a perennial plant that grows up to 60 to 140 cm. Its rootstock is very big and can reach a length of one meter. The stem is very sturdy and its leaves look like feathers. Depending on the type of yarrow, the flowers bloom in different colors - but the common yarrow has white flowers.
Did you know that yarrow can also be used in cooking? The bitter taste is popular for flavoring herb salads and herbal spreads.
Most people probably know the dandelion. It belongs to the dandelion species, which belongs to the composite plant family.
The dandelion grows naturally in the moderate climate zones of the northern hemisphere, but originally comes from western Asia and Europe. It is most likely to be found on meadows, ditches, and forest edges - as long as it is sunny or half-shady.
The growth of the dandelion is herbaceous. The perennial plant can only grow between 10 cm and 30 cm high, but its root is very long and reaches up to one meter in the depth. Directly above the ground, the dandelion leaves are formed, which grow up to 25cm and are strongly toothed. In spring, the dandelion blooms with its bright yellow basket flowers, whose smell reminds of honey. The flowers open in the morning and close in the evening.
Interesting, especially for vegans, could be that you can make a honey alternative from the dandelion.
