Product information "Little pimpernel - pot 9x9 cm (Sanguisorba minor)"

The little pimpernel has a cucumber-like flavor. The plant is native to the Mediterranean region and today can be found in large parts of Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. In Belgium and the Netherlands, however, it is rare in nature.

A special feature of pimpernel is that it stays green summer and winter. It is a perennial, hardy shrub that grows to +/- 50 cm high. The plants have on each petiole 6 to 10 oddly pinnate, round, toothed leaves with a nutty smell. The mostly white or pink flowers resemble small bottlebrushes, and appear between May and July.

CULTIVATION TIPS:
Pimpernel likes a sunny location, preferably in a chalky, well-drained soil. Although pimpernel also does well on rocky ground, you must make sure that the soil does not dry out too much in the summer.

Be especially careful of too much moisture in the winter. In the herb garden, it is best not to let the plants get too old and replace them with young plants again and again. It is a good idea to cut off the flower stems. This promotes the growth and quality of the leaves and that is what the kitchen is all about. The leaves can be harvested all year round. You can dry them, but then they will lose some of their aroma.

USES:
The young leaves of the little pimpernel have a specific flavor similar to cucumber. Processed in a vinaigrette, it gives a refined, subtle flavor that surprises every time.

The finely chopped leaves taste superb in tomato, potato and cucumber salads.
Just before serving, sprinkle some chopped pimpernel over soups, asparagus and fish dishes.
Use some small pimpernel as a flavoring in cocktails or chilled drinks. Pimpernel can also be used to give wine a spicy touch. Never boil the leaves, as the little pimpernel will lose all its flavor.

In medicine, pimpernel is known for its diuretic and astringent effects. It is said to be good for people with kidney and bladder problems. In the Middle Ages, an infusion of the plant was used as a blood tonic
