General Information:
Levisticum officinale, is an erect herbaceous, perennial herb, reach up to 6-8 feet in height, with small yellow flowers arranged in flat-topped double umbels. It is a culinary herb that is often grown in herb gardens for the celery like flavor of its leaves, stems, roots and seeds. Shiny dark green, triangular shaped, deeply divided leaves smell like celery or lime when crushed. Yellow flower heads borne atop stems in umbels in late spring. The larger basal leaves are up to 25-30-inch-long, tripinnate, with broad triangular to rhomboidal, acutely pointed leaflets with a few marginal teeth; the stem leaves are smaller, and less divided with few leaflets. They have a spicy, slightly bitter taste. Fresh leaves are still popular as a culinary herb in parts of Europe, used in flavoring salads, soups, sauces, stews and vegetables, or in much the same way as celery. The small umbels of tiny flowers are yellow to greenish-yellow, 2–3 mm diameter, appear in spring. The roots are eaten as a vegetable and eaten fresh in salads; the seeds flavor baked goods and cooked dishes. Although lovage is primarily considered an herb, the stems can be blanched and used as a vegetable.
