Angelica PlantAngelica archangelicaThis is a most worthwhile and versatile herb. Young shoots can be added to salads, the stems and roots can be used as a vegetable and the seeds in pastries. The stems can also be pealed, cut into small slices, steamed and thereafter crystallised for cake decoration, sweet meats and to include chopped in home made ice cream and cakes! The roots and stems smell strongly of gin – no surprise as this is one of the 'botanicals' used in the flavouring of gin and vermouths. The crushed leaves are said to reduce travel sickness whilst a tea made from it is purported to improve lost appetites. Additionally, if stewed and added to bath water it said to relieve rheumatism and aching muscles. (As with all plants with purported 'medicinal' benefits it is important to inform your health care providers that you are using them for this purpose; this helps to ensure safe and coordinated care) Supplied as a pot grown plant grown in a 7cm pot.
