Hyssop is well known as a culinary herb and ornamental garden plant, commonly seen in herb gardens. Flowers and plant oils have a long history of culinary and folk medicine uses. Leafy stems are hand-harvested twice a year. The herb is used fresh or dried. Hyssop has been described as a unique and versatile culinary herb when used in small amounts. The taste is intensely minty, spicy and floral, with a pleasant bitterness. The fresh young leaves and flowers have been and still are used in cooking to flavor such things like salads, soups, sauces and meat dishes.
