Shungiku(Edible Chrisanthemum)

Picture
A popular leaf vegetable in Japan, usually used for hot pots and sukiyaki, it can also be eaten raw in a salad. With a mild taste and a hint of Chrysanthemum scent, it is a winter delicacy (although available nowadays all year round).
Full of Caroten, Vitamin B2, C, E and Calcium, Iron, it is also known to prevent colds in the winter months.


​How to preserve:

Wrap it in a damp newspaper and keep in the refrigerator for 2 days. To revive wilting shungiku, chop off the end and place it a jug of warm water (up to 50 degrees C ) .
