Sweet woodruff (galium odoratum) - Foraging UK -

Today we're going to be taking a look at foraging for the edible wild plant known as Sweet Woodruff. This one is often used as a substitute for vanilla or tonka bean and works incredibly well in sweet dishes and cocktails or even smoothies :)
We'll look at all of the key features to correctly identify this species when you're out foraging as well as the potential edible lookalikes that the sweet woodruffcould be confused with.
Lastly we'll be talking through some of my favourite ways to cook with and consume my foraged sweet woodruff from apple pie cocktails to sweet woodruff ice cream. I'm certain there's plenty more recipes we can use this in and I'd absolutely love to hear yours,
For a full written guide head to the website :)
Happy Foraging

This my favorite smell in the universe. I smelled it on the side of a dirt road as a child and obsessed until I found what it was when I was 17
