About Lovage
Lovage (Levisticum officinale) is a herbaceous perennial that hails from the Apiaceae family. It is prized for its unique flavor and aroma, which is often described as a combination of celery, parsley, and anise.
It has a long history of use in traditional medicine and culinary arts, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. Its leaves, stems, and seeds are all used in cooking to give soups, stews, salads, and sauces additional depth and complexity. Along with its culinary applications, lovage has been used for its medicinal qualities, which include its capacity to ease digestive problems and lessen menstrual cramps. The herb was so revered in antiquity that it was frequently referred to as "the herb of love," and it was thought to have aphrodisiac characteristics.
Today, lovage remains a popular herb among chefs and herbalists alike, prized for its versatility, its bold flavor, and its many health benefits.
