Meet the Violet: Food + Gentle Medicine

🪻If you’ve ever spotted those purple-blue flowers covering lawns or woodland edges in spring—you’ve met violet.
🌿Both the leaves and flowers are edible and medicinal.
💚Herbalists love violet for its gentle support of:
	•	Digestion
	•	Lymphatic flow (your body’s waste-clearing system)
	•	And dry, irritated tissues—kind of like how aloe soothes your skin, violet soothes your throat and digestion.
😋The flavor is mild, slightly green, with a hint of floral from the flowers.
😎Best part? It’s easiest to use fresh—no heat, no alcohol needed.

👩🏽‍🍳Here are 3 easy ways to try it:
	1.	Iced Violet Water – Fresh leaves + flowers steeped in cool water, served over ice.
	2.	Violet Vinegar – Infuse in apple cider vinegar. Optional: add dandelion, nettles, or chickweed for extra spring support.
	3.	Violet Butter – Blend into butter with dandelion flowers, lemon zest, and honey.

👩🏽‍🌾Violet season won’t last long—what will you make while they’re here?
