The homeland of asphodel, locally known as "kır safranı" (meadow saffron), is the Arabian Peninsula. However, it is also encountered wild in our country and cultivation is also done.

DESCRIPTION

With its high content of fiber, omega fatty acids, and Vitamin E, the asphodel flower is a powerful antioxidant, and its natural structure also makes it a highly effective diuretic. Among diuretic plants, the asphodel flower holds a special place due to its multifaceted properties, traditionally used as an herbal tea. For the asphodel flower to be used as herbal tea, it needs to be harvested in mid-summer and dried particularly in the shade.

Furthermore, cold-pressed asphodel oil is obtained from the seeds of the asphodel flower. While the seeds contain between 30-45% oil, their high linoleic acid content makes them suitable for culinary use, commonly used as a cooking oil. Asphodel oil is a valuable botanical oil used in various fields, from food consumption to cosmetic purposes.
