Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)

The entire plant is edible, with preference to leaves, flowers, and stems. It is a blood thinner (it contains
coumarin). It lowers cholesterol levels. It helps to prevent osteoporosis. If consumed regularly, it might
increase the risk of liver and reproductive system issues.
