Native to the Mediterranean, lavender is an attractive, aromatic plant that is grown in herb gardens all over the world. Lavender has a sweet, floral aroma with mint and citrus undertones. Its flavor is quite intense and can easily overpower a dish, so use sparingly.

Lavender has many other household applications. The English word “lavender” actually comes from the Latin lavare, meaning “to wash,” and consequently, it is often included in many bath products, as well as potpourri mixes and sachets. When selecting this herb for culinary use, it is important to purchase the herb from a spice or specialty food store, as the lavender sold by florists or other retailers not specializing in foods may contain other oils, perfumes or non-edible ingredients added to enhance aroma.
