Lovage

Levisticum officinale

An herb of the middle ages commonly grown throughout Europe, Lovage is a hardy perennial whose roots, stems, leaves, and seed are all edible. With frilly leaves, it produces stocks that can get up to 7 ft tall (if given the right conditions). It is wonderful used to season soups, stews, salad dressings or grated into salads. Its flavor and smell are reminiscent of parsley and celery, but with more intensity. Can be used as a spice to reduce the need for salt. We recommend using it sparingly for the best results.
