The plant contains the toxic glycoside ranunculin, which gives it a bitter, acid taste. The toxin is lost when the plant dries, making it safe for animal consumption.
The plant is avoided by livestock when fresh due to its toxic properties, but hay containing the plant is safe for animal consumption. Pigs are unaffected by the toxin and eat bulbous buttercups avidly.
April to July
