食用菊 (Shokuyō Kiku)

Hachinohe and Yamagata's heritage cultivation produces edible-cultivar chrysanthemums distinct from Western ornamental varieties; food and cosmetic extract supply chains established.
Luteolin 0.1-0.5%; apigenin 0.05-0.2%; total polyphenol 1-3% in dried flower; chlorogenic acid carry-over.
Dried chrysanthemum for salad / garnish export, kiku-cha herbal tea, anti-ageing cosmetic actives.
Yellow and purple cultivated chrysanthemum varieties consumed in Japan as a salad / sashimi garnish, dried herbal tea, and increasingly as a cosmetic active. Aomori (Hachinohe) is the leading commercial production region; the 'Mottenohoka' purple cultivar from Yamagata commands GI-positioned regional pricing. Functional positioning targets antioxidant flavonoid content (luteolin, apigenin); cosmetic extracts feature in anti-ageing and brightening positioning. Distinct from existing 'yomogi' (mugwort) and 'dokudami' (heartleaf) entries.
