FAQ
Is culinary lavender different from decorative lavender?
Yes. Culinary lavender is a specific variety selected for food use and has a cleaner, less bitter flavor than lavender sold for fragrance or décor.
How much lavender should I use in cooking?
Start with a small amount, often ¼ to ½ teaspoon in baked goods or infusions. Lavender is concentrated, and too much can taste bitter or medicinal.
What foods work best with lavender?
Lavender works well in baked goods, syrups, and dairy-based desserts, and in small amounts with roasted meats like chicken or lamb.
