This pure edible oil is cold-pressed fresh from the mill from the seeds of the milk thistle. Milk thistle is a classic bitter herb and was already cultivated in monastery gardens as a "liver plant". It contains special substances such as silymarin. This substance has the ability to strengthen cell membranes, which are rarely found in modern nutrition, as well as vitamin E. Milk thistle oil is highly valued in folk medicine as a "liver plant". Due to its mild taste, milk thistle oil is ideal for salad dressings and breakfast cereals.
The milk thistle plant
Milk thistle (botanical name: Silybum marianum) grows to a height of one and a half meters. Like chamomile, it belongs to the composite family. The flowering plant can be recognized by its purple flowers and spiny leaves with white spots. It has a branched stem. Its flowers can be recognized by their delicate purple colour and are surrounded by pointed bracts. The fruits of the milk thistle contain a fat-rich oil consisting mainly of fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acid. The milk thistle plant belongs to the Asteraceae family. The plant with the purple flowers blooms from June to September. It grows in southern Europe, North Africa and western Asia, preferably on dry soils and roadsides.
Milk thistle press cake for dogs and horses
The valuable milk thistle press cake, which is produced during the cold pressing of our organic milk thistle, is an ideal supplementary feed for dogs and horses. Due to its detoxifying effect, the cake is particularly suitable for feeding to dogs and horses with liver disease and for detoxification in general. The press cake is free from additives and contains valuable unsaturated fatty acids.
The raw protein content of milk thistle cake is around 19 g per 100 g. The press cake also contains around 8 g per 100 g of valuable milk thistle oil, making it an ideal supplementary feed for horses that are heavy feeders. Due to its omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content, feeding milk thistle cake supports fat metabolism.
Regular feeding can support the change of coat and the shine of the horse's coat in both dogs and horses. The bitter substances in milk thistle cake can have a positive effect on liver function and regeneration in the event of feed-related deficiency symptoms. Milk thistle can also support the growth of horses' hooves.
