Delicious Lavender Recipes
You know lavender. That is to say, you are almost certainly familiar with the aroma of lavender. Whether you've encountered it growing wild in a field, dried in a pot of potpourri, or coming from the warm glow of a candle, that sweet, floral scent is unforgettable. But have you ever tried eating lavender? The same light, floral, slightly herbal qualities lavender brings to the nose can also tantalize the tastebuds in a wide range of dishes, both sweet and savory alike. We do have to warn you, though: not all lavender is created equal.
If you're considering working with lavender for the first time, it's important to make sure you specifically buy Culinary Lavender. While most of the 47 different species of lavender are harmless if ingested, many contain a high concentration of essential oils, which can be overwhelming to the palate. Culinary lavender tends to have a much lower oil content, which will allow you to enjoy cooking with it without the risk of the cake you worked so hard on tasting like soap or perfume. If you'd like an even easier way to add a little spring bouquet to your kitchen arsenal, we also carry a Lavender Flavoring. Luckily for you, we also found some great recipes to get you started with both forms of lavender, which you'll find below.
