\u00a0Lovage \u2013 The Nearly Forgotten Herb

\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

Lovage, Levisticum
\nofficinale, can be found grown by some, but it is not near as popular as it was
\nwhen Charlemagne (742-814 A.D.) had it grown in his famous gardens. <\/span><\/p>\n

This perennial
\nZone 3 to 9 is in the Umbelliferae\/Apiaceae family (carrot\/parsley) and can get
\nsix to seven feet tall with a spread of nearly three feet. Due to its height,
\nit makes a wonderful backdrop to a garden. \u00a0<\/span>It has large dark green leaves. \u00a0<\/span>It can grow in full sun to partial shade and
\nloves rich soil. They\u2019re heavy feeders, so if you have one with lighter green
\nleaves you may need to amend the soil with an all-purpose organic fertilizer or
\ngood compost.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovage is native
\nto the Mediterranean Sea are, the mountains of southern Europe and Central
\nAsia.\u00a0 <\/span>It first arrived in North America
\nwith the colonists as one of those plants they felt important enough to carry
\nalong with them to the new world.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the
\nfirst out the ground in the spring \u2013 nearly a foot tall when the dandelions are
\nin bloom.\u00a0 <\/span>Nature provides and lovage is
\nloaded with the nutrients we need in the spring \u2013 Vitamins C, B-complex and
\nquercetin. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the
\nattributes that make this plant special and very useful to have around \u2013 it
\nsmells and tastes like a strong celery and can be interchanged if you remember
\nthat lovage is stronger, and taste test as you go.\u00a0 <\/span>You Bloody Mary lovers may want to grow it
\nfor its stem, which is perfect in your Bloody Marys \u2013 it\u2019s hollow and adds the
\naroma and taste of celery.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you find a
\npacket of seeds, plant in early spring, but keeping in mind they only have
\nabout a 50% germination rate.\u00a0 <\/span>The seeds
\nmust be stratified for a couple of weeks prior to planting and require only
\nabout a quarter of an inch of covering soil.\u00a0
\n<\/span>It only takes about two weeks to come up, so you\u2019ll know fairly quickly
\nif you have good seed. They take about 90 days from germination to
\nmaturity.\u00a0 <\/span>Easier to ask a friend who
\ngrows it for a clump in the spring.\u00a0 <\/span>If
\nyour winter has been particularly cold, it\u2019s a good time to get lovage; they
\nseem to grow better and faster after a miserably cold winter!\u00a0 <\/span>Fall clumps can also be transplanted but I
\nhaven\u2019t had much luck with fall plantings.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a pretty
\nversatile plant.\u00a0 <\/span>All the parts are used
\n\u2013 the leaves, the flowers, the seeds and the roots of two to three year plus old
\nplants.\u00a0 <\/span>The younger the leaves the more
\nmild they are.\u00a0 <\/span>Keep cutting them back to
\nprevent flowering \u2013 the leaves get a more bitter taste once in bloom.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aphids like
\nlovage so keep a watch out. If you\u2019re into companion planting, plant lovage
\nwith potatoes or other root vegetables as it seems to help with their growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

The flowers come
\nin our area (Zone 4) from late June to August (depending on how much cutting
\nback is done).\u00a0 <\/span>They\u2019re an umbel and
\nyellow to yellow-green.\u00a0 <\/span>They attract pollinators
\nfor those planting pollinator gardens this year.\u00a0 <\/span>Parasitic wasps that eat tent caterpillars like
\nlovage too \u2013 always a good thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harvest the
\nleaves of lovage in the morning after the dew has dried.\u00a0 <\/span>Try to dry them quickly to retain their
\ncolor; often they turn yellow during a long drying process.\u00a0 <\/span>Washing the leaves will remove some the
\nvolatile oils but generally they don\u2019t need it.\u00a0
\n<\/span>Leaves can be frozen \u2013 blanch first and then put in very cold water for
\na couple minutes.\u00a0 <\/span>I put them on trays in
\nthe freezer and transfer to containers when they\u2019re frozen.\u00a0 <\/span>Seeds should be harvested when the yellow
\nflowers turn brown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovage has been
\naround for a long time.\u00a0 <\/span>It was found in
\nmost Middle Ages kitchen gardens and was used both a culinary and medicinal
\nplant.\u00a0 <\/span>It was also believed that if you
\nwore lovage, it would keep your true love in total devotion to you!\u00a0 <\/span>A favorite drink was a cordial made with
\nlovage, tansy and yarrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greeks
\nchewed on the leaves for digestion\/gas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The leaves were
\nalso worn by travelers in their shoes to relieve weary feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Herbalist John
\nGerard (Herbal 1597) felt it was one of the best remedies of his time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Benedictine
\nmonks used it as a medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even Hildegard
\nof Bingen used it in her cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was often
\nused in hedgerows in Britain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Early New
\nEnglanders candied the root and chewed on it for bad breath.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Shakers grew
\nthe plant and sold the seed.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a common
\nremedy of the era for sore throats, rheumatism, as a diuretic, in bath water,
\nfor skin problems, but it was most effective for digestion and gas.\u00a0 <\/span>Other benefits worth researching include
\nworking on inflammation, supporting the lungs (cousin to osha), possible allergy
\nrelief by inhibiting release of histamines, and for stress control.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a foot soak, I add the
\nleaves to thyme, Rosemary, lavender, and mint (equal parts) and add marbles
\n(with the shooters) to the basin with a quart of as warm a water as you can
\nstand.\u00a0 <\/span>(Rubbing your feet on the marbles
\nstimulates the reflexology points in your feet.)<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have
\npsoriasis or acne, you might want to try a salve using the lovage leaves, or
\nplacing the leaves directly on the affected area.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you harvest
\nthe seed, it can be added to your cooking as well, much like fennel.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019ve even thrown them in bread I was making.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovage is one of
\nthe oldest salad greens.\u00a0 <\/span>Long before
\ncelery was common, lovage was used in salads, stews and soups.\u00a0 <\/span>I chop the leaves and use them in egg salad,
\npotato and pasta salads, and in frittatas.\u00a0
\n<\/span>They are stronger than the celery, so experiment starting with a little
\nand work up.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I like to make a
\nvinegar with lovage leaves and chive blossoms, and have also included a couple
\nleaves in my fire cider.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is one
\nplant you need to experiment with.\u00a0 <\/span>There
\nare some recipes out there, but start using the leaves sparingly at first to any
\nrecipes you would normally include celery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following is one
\nof my favorite spring soups:<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovage Soup<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

1oz. butter <\/span><\/p>\n

2 medium onions, finely chopped <\/span><\/p>\n

4T lovage leaves, finely chopped <\/span><\/p>\n

3T all-purpose flour <\/span><\/p>\n

2 cups chicken broth <\/span><\/p>\n

1 cup milk or heavy cream<\/span><\/p>\n

2 or 3 chopped potatoes <\/span><\/p>\n

salt and white pepper to taste <\/span><\/p>\n

Melt butter in a saucepan and gently
\nsaut\u00e9 the onions for 5 minutes or until tender. Add the lovage; whisk in the
\nflour and cook at medium heat for one minute, stirring constantly.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Gradually whisk in the broth, cover and
\nsimmer gently for 15 minutes. Add the milk, salt and pepper, bring to a gentle
\nsimmer. Do not boil the soup or it will curdle. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can add carrots or other veggies
\nas you like just increase the liquid amount (either the broth or the milk)
\nuntil you reach your desired consistency.\u00a0
\n<\/span>If you\u2019re not feeling well, add garlic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only
\nprecautions I\u2019ve found is lovage should not to be used by pregnant ladies
\n(could cause miscarriages), and it can cause photosensitivity in some folks
\n(due to the furanocoumarins found mostly in the root).\u00a0 <\/span>There are also concerns with people with high
\nblood pressure; lovage could possibly increase sodium levels.\u00a0 <\/span>On that, don\u2019t use a lot of lovage if you
\nhave kidney problems.\u00a0 <\/span>This is a diuretic
\nso don\u2019t eat a lot if you are using diuretics, it could double the effects and
\ncause real problems.\u00a0 <\/span>Check with your
\nhealth care professional if you have any of these situations prior to use, and
\nwhen using in culinary, just use in moderation and common sense.<\/span><\/p>\n
