Magnolias are one of the most beautiful trees in the spring!
Our poll shows that 86% of our followers (including me ) did not know that the white-pinkish petals are edible! The bark,
petals and flower buds can be used for problems with digestion, weight loss, anxiety, stress, digestion, fever, headaches and even respiratory problems.
The flower buds can be used on the gum for toothache and rubbed on skin against irritations. The bark is used in tinctures to improve sleep.
The young petals have a mild gingery and peppery flavour. When the petals mature, their perfumed taste turns more bitter.
Such an awesome early seasonal salad ingredient! Who else is lucky to have one in their garden?
