Rue Herb Cut Ruta Graveolens - 100G

Features

Description

Rue Herb Cut is dried Ruta graveolens , a bold, aromatic-bitter herb with a green-citrus, resinous character. Rue has a long history in traditional European herbal craft and is best used carefully, in small measured amounts, and only where its strong profile is appropriate. It can be used in traditional herbal blends where a bitter, structured note is wanted, often alongside softer herbs such as chamomile, lemon balm or mint.

Rue is a potent herb with important safety cautions and is not suitable for casual, high-dose or pregnancy-related use. Why we love it: Rue has a distinctive traditional character and a little goes a long way. It works best in careful, purposeful blends where its strong bitter profile can be balanced with gentler companion herbs.
