Yarrow

Yarrow is a medicinal herb with delicate white or pink flowers and feathery leaves with a characteristically bitter and slightly spicy flavour. In the kitchen, it is primarily used as an aromatic addition to herbal teas, liqueurs, and herbal vinegars. Young leaves can be added to salads, soups, or herb butter, where they provide a mildly bitter, piquant note. In folk medicine, it is well known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. It is harvested in summer and dried for use in teas throughout the year. In gastronomy, it serves more as a supplementary ingredient than a main component of dishes.
