About Virginia Spring-Beauty

Scientific Summary

Virginia Spring‑Beauty (Claytonia virginica) is a tender, herbaceous plant with edible leaves, stems, and small berries that grows in moist, shaded areas. It is traditionally used as a mild, slightly sweet food in salads or teas, a remedy for soothing skin irritation, gentle digestive upset, and as a natural diuretic. The herb is generally safe when eaten in typical culinary amounts; however, large doses may cause mild gastrointestinal upset and people on anticoagulant medications should use caution.
