So, what is evening primrose?
Evening primrose is a flowering plant native to North America that produces a seed rich in essential fatty acids. The oil extracted from evening primrose seeds contains high levels of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that has been associated with several health benefits. Evening primrose oil is often used as a dietary supplement to support skin health, hormone balance, and relieve symptoms of PMS and menopause. It is also used in cosmetic products for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. Evening primrose has a delicate, slightly sweet taste and can be used as a nutritional supplement or added to salads, smoothies, and other recipes.
