Lavender is not only popular for its fragrance and beauty but also serves as a culinary herb. Among the over 40 species of lavender, English lavender varieties, like Buena Vista and Folgate, are highly recommended for cooking due to their pleasant, balanced sweetness and culinary versatility. They thrive in sunny, well-drained conditions, making them easy to grow even for novices. In cooking, English lavender can be used in recipes ranging from baked goods to salads, whereas lavandin hybrids, known for their stronger flavor profile, are less suitable for culinary use.
English lavender cultivars, such as Buena Vista and Folgate, are ideal for culinary use due to their balanced, soothingly-sweet floral taste and aroma.
Although you could also cook with French lavender, the aromatic and floral sweetness of English lavender makes it the best choice for a variety of culinary applications.
