Polygonatum biflorum

Solomon’s seal is a member of the Asparagaceae family and a close relative of Lily-of-the-Valley. Historically, Polygonatum biflorum’s starchy rhizome was consumed by indigenous cultures in central and eastern North America. Solomon’s seal root can also be macerated as an extract, blended into herbal formulations, or brewed as Solomon’s seal tea.

Historically, indigenous cultures of North America consumed the starchy rhizomes of Solomon's seal as a potato-like food, making breads and soups. The young shoots are also edible, raw or boiled, for an asparagus-like dish. The plant gets its name from a scar that develops on the rhizome in the fall, resembling the ancient seal of King Solomon. It is also called small Solomon’s seal.
