Natural occurrences

It can be found in Ferula varia and F. foetida[1] in Campanula persicifolia and C. rotundifolia,[2] in the bamboo Phyllostachys nigra,[3] and in Teucrium gnaphalodes.[4]

In food

It can be found in dandelion (the highest concentration in the flowers,[5] but also in the roots) and in Cynara scolymus (artichoke).[6]
