Culinary Lavender: Benefits & How To Use It

Culinary vs Crafting Lavender

Culinary lavender consists of food-grade, dried lavender buds. Unlike crafting lavender, the buds are thoroughly cleaned of any bitter-tasting stems and leaves.

Great to Relax

Lavender flowers help you release stress and unwind naturally. You can easily make a soothing lavender tea by steeping the dried buds in hot water.

Aid to Detox

The pleasant smell of lavender comes from special oils found in the flower, which also have anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties.

Easy to Add to Recipes

Just a few spoonfuls of lavender flowers can add a wonderfully floral, herby, and minty note to sweet and savoury dishes. Try them in the following recipes!
