  • Tasting Notes:
    Leaves, roots, and unripe seeds all have the same aroma. Some people are addicted to its refreshing lemony-ginger aroma wit notes of sage; others hate it and find it soapy and disagreeable. The flavor is delicate yet complex, with a suggestion of pepper, mint, and lemon.
  • Combines well with:
    avocados, coconut milk, cucumber, lemons and limes, lemon grass, mint, ginger
