Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully dried to preserve its greyish-brown to tan exterior, firm woody texture, and mild earthy aroma. When sliced or decocted, the interior reveals a pale yellowish-white core with a faint bittersweet note. Simmered in soups, the heads soften gradually and release a gentle, slightly sweet and bitter flavor that blends well with other food herbs.
