Eucalyptus:
Eucalyptus is a generic name for over 600 different trees and shrubs. We use the aromatic leaves of Eucalyptus globulus, a native tree of Australia that reaches 60 meters in height. They have a refreshing acidic taste with a slightly bitter undertone.
Basil:
The "royal plant," as the ancient Greeks called basil, arrived in northern Europe in the 12th century. It has a wonderful spicy aroma that is ideal in Mediterranean cuisine as well as in freshly brewed tea.
Thyme:
Thyme is a labiate appreciated by humans for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal plant. It mainly grows around the Mediterranean Sea and has an intense slightly acidic aroma. Thanks to its valuable components, thyme was chosen as the medicinal plant of the year in 2006.
Licorice:
Licorice, also known as sweet root, has been known since ancient times as a medicinal plant and is one of the 50 basic herbs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is about 50 times sweeter than sugar and has a mildly sweet and slightly acidic and bitter taste. Thanks to its valuable nutrients, licorice was chosen as the medicinal plant of the year in 2012.

Cardamom:
Cardamom has been one of the most popular spices in the entire Asian and Arab world for thousands of years. Its delicate aroma, between spicy and sweet, makes cardamom suitable for many dishes, from spicy curries to spiced Christmas sweets. Thanks to its essential oils and other important nutrients, cardamom is also one of the oldest medicinal plants in the world.
Cinnamon:
Cinnamon is one of the most expensive spices in the world and is believed to have been used in China as early as 3,000 BC as a spice and medicinal plant. Cinnamon is obtained from the bark of the cinnamon tree in South Asia, has an aromatic sweet flavor, and contains numerous tannins and beneficial essential oils.
Mullein:
Not only its external values, but also its internal ones give mullein a truly majestic appearance. It grows upright like a candle up to two meters in height and has intensely yellow flowers with a taste that is both mild and aromatic. In 1999, mullein was chosen as the medicinal plant of the year.
Alfalfa:
The "father of all foods," the Arabic word alfalfa translates to, has been valued for thousands of years for its beneficial components. In addition to proteins, minerals, and trace elements, alfalfa seeds contain numerous vitamins, such as E, K, B6, and D. Alfalfa has a slight nutty flavor that is both spicy and aromatic.
Fennel:
Fennel is one of the oldest known medicinal plants in the world. Belonging to the umbellifer family, it has been popular internationally for thousands of years due to its intense aroma. Fennel has a flavor that is both spicy and sweet, with a slight resemblance to anise.
Elecampane:
Originally from Asia, elecampane was an essential part of any farm's garden in ancient times. Already in the 4th century, the Roman cook Apicius wrote in his cookbook "De re coquinaria" that this plant should be in every home: "It is a seasoning that cannot be missed." Elecampane belongs to the composite family and grows primarily in meadows and wet fields. Its aromatic root has a slightly bitter taste and gives off a pleasant aroma.
