Yellow calendula, known as Calendula officinalis, is a cheerful, edible flower with daisy-like blooms. Originating from Southern Europe, Egypt, the Mediterranean, and regions extending from the Canary Islands to Iran, it has now become naturalized worldwide. Revered for its beneficial properties, calendula is widely used in herbal preparations, including oils, lotions, and balms, and is known for brightening herbal tea blends. Historically, it has been used as “poor man’s saffron” for coloring and flavoring food, and it has medicinal uses as an anti-inflammatory. The flower is also appreciated for its symbolic meanings of love and beauty in various cultures. Calendula is harvested in summer when its resins are high. It is a member of the Asteraceae family and should be used with caution by those with allergies to this family of plants.
