So, what is ground elder?
Ground elder is an edible wild herb that grows in shady places across Europe and parts of Asia. It has a distinctive aroma and flavor that is similar to parsley, with hints of citrus and anise. The plant's leaves are deeply lobed and shiny, and its stalks are hollow and grooved. Ground elder is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like calcium and potassium. In traditional medicine, it has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including arthritis, gout, and digestive problems. When used in cooking, ground elder can be added to soups, stews, and salads for a fresh, zesty flavor.
