Milk Thistle Oil, cold pressed, organic

History

Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been valued for more than 2,000 years. Its origins trace back to the Mediterranean region, where it was traditionally used by Greek and Roman physicians for digestive and liver-supportive purposes. In medieval Europe, milk thistle was widely cultivated in monastery gardens and used in herbal remedies.
With modern scientific research confirming the beneficial properties of the active compound silymarin, milk thistle oil has become a popular natural supplement and culinary ingredient worldwide.

Flavor Profile

Milk thistle oil has a mild, pleasant, nutty flavor with subtle herbal notes. Its gentle taste makes it versatile in cold dishes—ideal for adding a nutritious touch to salads, smoothies, and other foods without overpowering their natural flavors.

Nutritional Value

Milk thistle oil is rich in valuable nutrients, including:

  • Omega-6 essential fatty acids (linoleic acid)

  • Vitamin E (tocopherols) – a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress

  • Silymarin complex – known for liver-supportive and detoxifying properties

  • Phytosterols – beneficial for healthy cholesterol levels

  • Polyphenols and natural antioxidants

These nutrients support liver health, immune function, skin vitality, cardiovascular health, and overall wellness.

How to Use

Milk thistle oil is best enjoyed cold to preserve its sensitive nutrients. Recommended uses:

  • Add 1–2 teaspoons daily to salads, dressings, cottage cheese, yogurt, porridge, or smoothies

  • Drizzle over cooked vegetables, pasta, or soups after preparation

  • Mix into healthy spreads or dips

  • Use as a natural nutritional supplement

Do not heat or fry with milk thistle oil, as high temperatures can reduce its nutritional value.
