Use: Although this great garden plant has a powerful curry like fragrance it doesn’t carry through to any culinary uses. It does however mix well with other pungent herbs for pot-pourri. It has also been used for adding an unusual flavour when smoking meat, fruit and nuts. There are no reported medicinal uses of the curry plant. It can be added to salads in small quantities if desired.

Harvest: Harvest as needed
