Lavender in your food.Yes, you heard me correctly: Lavender in your food. I posted a response in a discussion today that wanted to know about the benefits of Lavender. I believe they were only looking to use Lavender to help ease the mood of stress. Did you know though, that you can put it into food and get great results?

Add it to ice cream as a mix-in.
Add it to stews to help provide breathing relief when sick with a cold.
(You can add even more to help that).
Add it to white cakes for flavor and get the benefits of it.
I do this; and love the health benefits.

Do you add it to your food?
Have you considered that?
Tell us about that.

amazing..This is the first time I'm hearing about adding lavender in cooking. I never knew Lavender can be added in food products. Then I browsed to know more about this. Yes, it seems that adding Lavender to food products is very common..There are many ways to use Lavender in cooking. Lavender is part of the mint family and is closely related to thyme, fennel and sage. You can substitute lavender in place of spices like marjoram and thyme in savory meat dishes. Desserts can be sweetened with lavender sugar. Also lavender is a very strong flavored herb. So very little lavender will serve the purpose while cooking.I would try to add lavender in my cooking in the future.. happy

Those are some brilliant information. There you are. wink
A little goes a long way.
I like the fact that it ads a different flavor as well. It's unexpected-which I really like when I come across something like that. Very cool herb. thumbup Let me know thing that you come up with using it in your cooking. I will do the same for you.

Hi MH Im the one who started the discussion and I know nothing about putting it in food. How is that done? Im just starting to learn the benefits of lavender. I wish I would have known that a long time ago I might have been able to avoid some of the medications I was put on.

You can grow it yourself. You can get it dried at the grocer. Take a teaspoon of it and place that in a sealed jar with sugar to make the lavender sugar. Add about the same to stews and simply add the other normal ingredients to it. What it does is help with breathing and it calms the nerves. It is an antiseptic as well. You can make a tea of it as you would green tea. One can also make a wash of it by adding it to your face cleaning routine or bath. happy

I never heard of putting lavendar in food. I didn't know it was possible to eat it. What would you use lavendar sugar for? What would it make the white cake taste like? I will have to ask a friend of mine who is a real natural foods person if she knew this.


myLot reputation of 93/100. MH4444 (1385)   ranked 986 out of 11,361 in health  1 year ago

See above post as to benefits of Lavender anything.

Lavender tea is very calming and sooths the stomach. Lavender can be used for a good nights sleep. I have added it to rice to give it a delicate flavor. Some say not to take the essential oil internally. I use the flower buds only for cooking.


myLot reputation of 93/100. MH4444 (1385)   ranked 986 out of 11,361 in health  1 year ago

Yes, that's correct in that you should only use the herb internally. The essential oil is for other things. But, you can actually make your own essential oil from the herb. wink


myLot reputation of 97/100. deebomb (9019)   ranked 260 out of 11,361 in health  1 year ago

It would take a lot of lavender to make essential oils. I don't think I will try it even though it could be simple. Do you or have you made any?


myLot reputation of 93/100. MH4444 (1385)   ranked 986 out of 11,361 in health  1 year ago

Yes I have. If you Google it; you can find out how to do it easily. I really get into making my own things. It's just nice knwoing that the item you are using is pure. thumbup
