Agrimony

Agrimony is a perennial herb with small yellow flowers and a characteristically bitter-astringent flavour with a delicate fruity undertone. In the kitchen, it is used mainly to prepare herbal teas, where it is appreciated for its mildly tannic yet pleasant taste. It can also be added to herbal vinegars, liqueurs, or as an aromatic complement to soups and sauces. In folk medicine, it has traditionally been used to support digestion, soothe throat inflammation, and for its astringent properties. It is harvested in summer and dried for year-round use. It grows abundantly in meadows and forest edges throughout Europe.
