Sweet Woodruff
Galium odoratum, commonly known as Sweet Woodruff, is a perennial herbaceous plant that is native to Europe and Asia. It is a low-growing plant that can reach a height of up to 30 cm and produces a mat of dark green leaves that are arranged in whorls. In the spring, the plant produces small, white, star-shaped flowers that have a delicate, sweet scent.
Sweet Woodruff is often used in the culinary world as a flavoring agent. The leaves have a pleasant vanilla-like aroma and flavor, and are often used to flavor beverages such as May Wine, a traditional German drink made by steeping sweet woodruff in white wine with strawberries and other fruits. The leaves can also be used to flavor desserts such as custards and ice cream, and to add a unique flavor to savory dishes such as soups and stews.
Sweet Woodruff is also used in the perfume and cosmetics industries, as the plant's sweet scent is often used in perfumes, soaps, and other scented products.
Other names for Galium odoratum include Waldmeister and Master of the Woods. One recipe that uses Sweet Woodruff is May Wine, which can be made by steeping sweet woodruff, strawberries, and other fruits in white wine for several hours. The resulting beverage is a refreshing and aromatic drink that is traditionally consumed in the springtime.
