What Is A Bitter Herb?
How To Incorporate Bitter Herbs Into A Diet

One of the best ways to introduce bitterness into a person’s life is to incorporate the bitter taste of nutrient-dense greens into salads. Chicory, dandelion, arugula, radicchio, or endive are all wonderfully complex-tasting greens that can be grown in a garden and found at a local farmers’ market, or even the grocery store. Individuals should slowly increase their proportion to the sweeter tasting lettuces to build up a tolerance for the taste. Bitter tasting roots, such as dandelion or burdock, can also be included in stir-fries or soups. Teas or other warm drinks are the easiest ways to incorporate chamomile and peppermint, and milk thistle can be taken in a supplement form.
