Levisticum officinale

Lovage

A kitchen garden staple from medeival times, this forgotten herb deserves a new look. The leaves and seeds have a celery-like flavor, perfect for potatoes, tomatoes, chicken, stuffings, rice, creamed soups, savory pies and vegetables. The roots were traditionally used as a warming and drying medicine, beneficial for the digestive system and the kidneys.
