Yellow Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemums, often called ‘mums’, are a genus (Chrysanthemum) of about 30 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Asia and northeastern Europe.

Yellow or white chrysanthemum flowers are boiled to make a sweet drink in some parts of Asia. The resulting beverage is known simply as “chrysanthemum tea”. Chrysanthemum tea has many medicinal uses, including an aid in recovery from influenza. In Korea, a rice wine flavored with chrysanthemum flowers is called “gukhwaju”.

Chrysanthemum leaves are steamed or boiled and used as greens, especially in Chinese cuisine.
