Marigold
Marigold is a variable food ingredient from flowering plants, potentially supplied as petals, powder, or extract without a specified species or plant part.
About Marigold
Marigold is a common name for flowering plants whose flowers or other parts may be used as food ingredients. Without a botanical species or named part, this label does not identify one particular plant or preparation. Culinary use and the part incorporated can vary, and the record gives no further detail about the intended form.
Depending on the plant and preparation, the ingredient may be encountered as fresh or dried petals, a powder, or an extract. Colour and flavour are not reliably determined by the common name alone. This entry should therefore be understood as a variable marigold food ingredient, rather than a claim about a particular species or use.
