Chickweed Herb (Stellaria media) — Dried Cut Aerial Herb, Eastern Europe

Chickweed Herb (Stellaria media) — dried cut aerial herb sourced from Eastern Europe. Chickweed is a low-growing annual plant in the Caryophyllaceae family, found naturally across Europe, Asia, and temperate regions worldwide — including throughout Australia, where it is a familiar cool-season plant. Despite its reputation as a common garden weed, chickweed has a centuries-long history as both a culinary edible herb and a botanical tea ingredient. The young fresh plant has traditionally been consumed as a salad green and pot herb across Europe, and the dried aerial herb — leaves, stems, and small star-shaped white flowers — has an equally long history in European herbal traditions.

The dried cut herb is the commercially traded form used in herbal tea blending, loose leaf tea manufacturing, tea bag production, botanical food ingredient applications, and wholesale supply to naturopathic dispensaries and health food manufacturers. Chickweed herb has a mild, fresh, slightly grassy flavour profile — neutral and clean with very low bitterness — making it easy to blend alongside stronger-flavoured botanicals such as nettle, cleavers, dandelion leaf, and plantain. The cut and sieved format provides consistent particle size suitable for standard and pyramid tea bag production as well as loose leaf blending. This product is sold as a food ingredient only.

Chickweed Herb — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

Chickweed (Stellaria media) is used primarily as a dried herbal tea ingredient — one of its most established applications in the wholesale botanical market. It appears in loose leaf tea blends, tea bag production, and spring herb or 'green herb' blends alongside botanicals such as nettle leaf, cleavers, dandelion leaf, and plantain. Beyond tea, dried chickweed is used as a botanical food ingredient, in capsule manufacturing for the supplement trade, and as a naturopathic dispensary herb. It has a long traditional history in European herbal practice. This product is sold as a food ingredient only.
Dried chickweed herb has a mild, fresh, slightly grassy flavour with very low bitterness — considerably more neutral than botanicals like nettle, dandelion, or cleavers. In a herbal tea blend it adds a clean, green botanical body without dominating the flavour profile. This makes chickweed a useful and versatile blending herb: it contributes without asserting. The taste is often described as lightly grassy and mild — somewhat similar to the flavour of mild salad greens. Fresh chickweed is edible and has been eaten as a salad green in European foraging traditions; the dried herb in tea has this same clean, gentle character.
Yes — chickweed (Stellaria media) is edible and has been consumed as a food plant across Europe for centuries. The fresh young shoots and leaves are eaten raw as a salad green, added to soups, and used as a pot herb. The plant is entirely edible — leaves, stems, and small white flowers. Chickweed is not poisonous and is not toxic to humans. The dried cut herb sold by The Herbal Connection is the preserved form of the same aerial herb, used as a food ingredient in herbal tea blending and food manufacturing applications. This product is sold as a food ingredient only.
Chickweed (Stellaria media) has a long history of traditional use as both a culinary herb and a botanical tea ingredient in European herbal traditions. As a food ingredient, it is a mild, nutritious green herb that has been consumed as part of traditional foraging and food culture. As a dried herbal tea, it is commonly combined with other spring and green herbs in botanical blends. The Herbal Connection supplies dried chickweed as a food ingredient only. We do not make therapeutic claims about this or any other product. For specific information about the traditional uses and properties of chickweed, we recommend consulting a qualified naturopath or herbalist.

Common chickweed (Stellaria media) is not considered poisonous to humans or most animals. It is a non-toxic edible plant that has been consumed by humans as food for centuries, and it is also commonly eaten by birds (it is a traditional bird food — the name 'chickweed' relates to chickens and other birds consuming it), rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses without issue. For specific guidance on feeding chickweed to pets or livestock, consult your vet. This product is sold as a dried food ingredient for human food and beverage manufacturing applications — not as an animal feed or veterinary product.
Chickweed herb's mild, neutral flavour profile makes it a flexible addition to herbal tea blends. For loose leaf tea, it works well at 10–40% of blend weight alongside other spring and green herbs — common pairings include nettle leaf, cleavers, dandelion leaf, plantain, and red clover. For tea bag production, the cut and sieved particle size is suitable for both standard flat tea bags and pyramid tea bags; typical fill weight per bag is 1.5–2.5g. Because chickweed is mild, it pairs well with strongly flavoured herbs where some softening and additional volume are needed without adding bitterness or dominant herbal notes.
