Herbs: Angelica

January 2nd, 2008 | Posted in Food Info, Herbs | Comments Off

I’ve never heard of this one before but it sounds interesting. It has thick, long, hollow stems reminiscent of celery. These stems are topped with greenish white flowers and have flat, serrated leaves.

The roots, stems, seeds and leaves are edible. It’s said to have a flavor that reminds one of licorice or juniper. It’s grown extensively in Europe where the stems are candied and used as a decoration for cakes, ice cream and cookies.
