Silybum marianum, also known as Milk Thistle or Holy Thistle, is a species of flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region. The plant is recognizable by its large, spiky leaves that are mottled with white markings, and its clusters of purple, thistle-like flowers.
In cuisine, the young leaves and shoots of Milk Thistle can be consumed as a vegetable and are commonly used in salads or sauted. A popular recipe that utilizes the plant is "Sauteed Milk Thistle with Garlic." To make this dish, the young leaves and shoots are washed and chopped, then sauted with garlic and olive oil until they are tender and slightly crispy.
Milk Thistle is also grown as an ornamental plant in gardens for its showy flowers and attractive foliage. In some regions, the plant is used for natural dye production.
