Wild rosemary (Marsh tea, Ledum palustre, Ericaceae/ Ericales/ Cornidae) is a wild plant of bogs and swamps of the Northern hemisphere.There are several subspecies, one of which (Labrador tea) is a popular tea plant in Canada.The European form was, like the ecologically similar gale, used for gruit beer, although it contains narcotic sesquiterpene alcohols and is not fully harmless.

Lamiaceae (mint family). Sensory quality. Fresh basil leaves have a strong and characteristic aroma, not comparable to any other spice, although there is a hint of cloves traceable.. In addition to the Mediterranean type most common in the West, there is a plethora of other varieties or cultivars with different flavour, many of which are hybrids. SPICE PAGES: HYSSOP (HYSSOPUS OFFICINALIS) Hyssop, an attractive garden plant with dark blue flowers, has only small value as a spice, because the aroma is weak (and reduced to nil after drying), and its taste is rather bitter.It can, however, be used for robust, rustic dishes like potato or bean soup, and it goes well with fat meat; others suggest it to spice up calf and chicken, where it may be an interesting alternative to sage SPICE PAGES: CHAMELEON PLANT (HOUTTUYNIA CORDATA) The name lizard tail (properly referring to a closely related genus, Saururia) is motivated by the acute shape of the leaves in both Saururia and Houttuynia. The name Chameleon plant (or chameleon herb) should be used only for the beautifully coloured variety which is most common as an ornamental in the West, and whose triple-hued leaves (yellow, red, green) remember to the SPICE PAGES: CLOVES (SYZYGIUM AROMATICUM) Etymology. The name clove, as well as Spanish clavo, Catalan clau, Portuguese cravinho and Tagalog clovas, ultimately derives from Latin clavus nail (because of shape resemblance). The word made its way into English via Old French clou.The word clove is related to the verb cleave (which is what you can do with a nail) and therefore also to clove as in a clove of garlic. SPICE PAGES: CURRY LEAVES (MURRAYA/CHALCAS KOENIGII) Note. The name curry plant is often used for Helichrysum italicum (Asteraceae), a relative of immortelle; several subspecies grow in the European Mediterranean countries.The essential oil shows considerable infraspecific variation; its main components are monoterpene hydrocarbons (pinene, camphene, myrcene, limonene) and monoterpene-derived alcohols (linalool, ter SPICE PAGES: PANDAN LEAVES (PANDANUS AMARYLLIFOLIUS, RAMPEH) Yet another study found 3-methyl-2-(5H)-furanone as main volatile compound in pandanus leaves, besides 3-hexanol, 4-methylpentanol, 3-hexanone and 2-hexanone (Flavor and Chemistry of Ethnic Foods,, Cancun, Nov.
SPICE PAGES: COCONUT (COCOS NUCIFERA) Etymology. Coconut and its relatives in other European languages goes back to Spanish coco spectre, goblin, with reference to the three marks on each coconut which make it look like an eerie face.. The botanical species name nucifera is a neo-Latin formation meaning bearing nuts (nux nut and ferre bring, carry, bear).. Almost all names of coconut in Indic languages are related, e CONTENTS OF THIS SITE Exotic Spices (English) Exotische Gewürze (Deutsch) Reading J.R.R. Tolkien (meistens Deutsch,sometimes English)
