Angelica herb plants are biennials belonging to the Parsley family. In ancient times this plant was considered a powerful protective herb against evil spirits, witchcraft, and disease, and in the 17th century, it was considered a major medicinal plant. Roots and leaves are used as a digestive stimulant and the roots and rhizomes are used for digestive disturbances including flatulence and mild gastro spasms! The roots, stalks, leaves, and flowers are all edible.
The stalks are candied for cake decoration and leaves are added to cooked fruit dishes, soups, stews, fish, or poultry. The essential oil of the roots and seeds is used as a vanilla-like flavouring.
Angelica herb plant can grow up to 1m tall and prefers a sheltered, semi-shaded spot. To survive, this plant requires regular watering in warmer months. The Angelica herbs can also be used to prepare tea and seasoning.
