Plantain is a common garden weed with edible leaves and seeds. It may offer health benefits, such as improved digestion, enhanced wound healing, and lower inflammation.
Plantain, also known as broadleaf plantain (Plantago major), is native to Europe and certain parts of Asia. This perennial plant produces greenish flowers and has large, oval-shaped leaves that can be eaten raw or cooked.
Despite sharing its name, plantain weed is unrelated to plantain fruit, which is a type of banana.
