, belonging to the family, is an invasive plant that has widely spread from Europe all across Asia, North America, Australia and New Zealand. Being able to survive in rigid soil and environmental conditions, it is nowadays considered to be of high nature-conservation value. Known for its nutritional and medicinal properties, stands out for its varied physiochemical composition, spotlighting a wide range of biological activity. Among the most important bioactive compounds identified in , the phenolic components found in different parts of this herbaceous plant are the main source of its diverse pro-health properties (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, chemoprotective, etc.). Nonetheless, this plant exhibits an excellent nectariferous potential for social insects such as honeybees; therefore, comparing the bioactive compounds observed in the plant and in the final product of the beehive, namely honey, will help us understand and find new insights into the health benefits provided by the consumption of -related products. Thus, the main interest of this work is to review the nutritional profile, chemical composition and biological activities of the plant and its related honey in order to encourage the future exploration and use of this health-promoting plant in novel foods, pharmacological products and apitherapy.
属于 科，是一种入侵植物，已从欧洲广泛传播到亚洲、北美洲、澳大利亚和新西兰各地。由于能够在恶劣的土壤和环境条件下生存，它如今被认为具有很高的自然保护价值。以其营养和药用特性而闻名，因其多样的物理化学组成而突出，具有广泛的生物活性。在 中鉴定出的最重要的生物活性化合物中，这种草本植物不同部位发现的酚类成分是其多种促进健康特性（抗氧化、抗炎、抗菌、化学保护等）的主要来源。尽管如此，这种植物对蜜蜂等社会性昆虫具有出色的泌蜜潜力；因此，比较在该植物和蜂巢最终产品（即蜂蜜）中观察到的生物活性化合物，将有助于我们理解并找到有关食用 相关产品所带来的健康益处的新见解。因此，这项工作的主要兴趣在于综述 植物及其相关蜂蜜的营养成分、化学成分和生物活性，以鼓励未来在新型食品、药理产品和蜂疗中探索和使用这种促进健康的植物。
