Gifts from this plant: The young leaves of evening primrose can be eaten like any leafy greens or made into tea. I like to gather and dry the seed and use it in my teas and food. Evening primrose seed is high in gamma linoleic acids that help reduce inflammation in the body and are helpful with PMS, cramps and arthritis.
