Anacamptis morio ssp. picta
The tubers of the Anacamptis morio ssp. picta orchid, harvested in Iran, are used for making salep, a traditional health drink and considered a superfood. These orchid species are protected in Europe due to conservation efforts. Historically, there was a misconception that salep provided significant nourishment in a compact form, leading to proposals for its inclusion in ship provisions to prevent famine during sea voyages. Orchid tubers, including those not used for salep, have also served as a food source during times of scarcity, highlighting their resourcefulness in providing sustenance in challenging circumstances. |
