Angelica root, also known as Angelica archangelica, is an herb that has gained an almost mythical status over the centuries. Once considered a protective herb against evil influences, angelica root has a special place in both legend and the culinary world. With its distinctive stems, aromatic leaves, and sweet, spicy taste, angelica is a versatile ingredient with more to offer than meets the eye.
Protection from above?
The name “angelica” wasn’t chosen by chance. According to old legends, the herb was given to humanity by the archangel Raphael as protection against disease and evil. Especially in the Middle Ages, angelica root was considered a powerful herb, often carried as a protective charm.
From pastries to liqueurs
Today, angelica is best known in the culinary world, where it is used in various surprising ways. The plant’s stems are often candied and used as decoration in desserts and pastries. They have a mild, sweet taste with a hint of spice, making them perfect for baked goods.
Angelica is also a key ingredient in famous liqueurs like chartreuse and vermouth, where it contributes to the complex flavor profile. The herb balances sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness, making it suitable for anything from sweets to liqueurs.
Angelica in the garden
Angelica isn’t only valued in the kitchen; it’s also an eye-catching plant in gardens. Growing up to 2 meters tall, with stunning umbrella-shaped flowers, the plant attracts attention in any herb garden. It is a biennial plant, meaning it primarily grows foliage in the first year and blooms with impressive flowers in the second.
The flowers of angelica attract various pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting healthy biodiversity in the garden. Angelica grows best in moist, shaded areas, making it ideal for gardens with a moderate climate.
