Lovage is a tall perennial herb with a flavor and aroma that is like a super-charged version of celery and parsley combined, with hints of anise. Its taste is incredibly robust and savory, so a little goes a long way. It is a traditional ingredient in European cuisine, excellent for flavoring soups, stocks, and stews, earning it the nickname "maggi plant". The hollow stems can even be used as a flavorful, reusable straw for Bloody Marys. We supply fresh, aromatic leaves and stems.
