- Native to the Mediterranean, lavender is mainly cultivated in France and England but grows all around the world.
- Lavender has a sweet, floral aroma with a hint of mint and citrus. The flavor matches that aroma with just a touch of bitterness.
- Lavender has uses both in the kitchen and in potpourris.
- Use lavender in desserts like cakes and ice cream or add as a unique flavor to vinaigrettes and marinades.
- Lavender can be rubbed on poultry before roasting for exquisite flavoring.
- We use lavender in our version of Herbs de Provence.
- Lavender is strong, so it is best to use a light hand.
