Miracle Plant Used in Ancient Greece Rediscovered After 2,000 Years (greekreporter.com)

AncientFutureNow, 1 year ago

The plant, which the Ancient Greeks called silphion (silphium), was a golden-flowered plant. It was once the most sought-after product in the Mediterranean even before the rise of Athens and the Roman Empire.

It is believed that the plant with yellow flowers attached to a thick stalk was crushed, roasted, sauteed, and boiled for medicinal purposes, food, and even contraception.
