Our grandparents knew about the treasures to be found by the wayside: wild herbs that bring not just aromatic flavours and fragrances but healing powers and history with them. With this seed kit you can bring these old traditions back to life and experience nature’s wild variety in your garden or on your balcony or patio. In a fresh wild herb salad, a beneficial tea or in hearty cooking – these herbs will bring wild and natural deliciousness into your life.
The kit includes these nine wild herbs:
-
Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium) – delicately spicy kitchen herb that adds an elegant fragrance to soups and salads.
-
Green purslane (Portulaca oleracea) – fresh and juicy, rich in omega 3 fatty acids and perfect for a wild herb salad.
-
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) – classic, intensely fragrant herb that’s a must-have for Mediterranean cooking.
-
Red-veined sorrel (Rumex sanguineus) – decorative red-veined leaves and a pleasantly acidic flavour.
