HERB LOVE: COWS PARSLEY

COWS PARSLEY 🐄 
____________
This lovely #wildflower is a staple in the British #hedgerow. It grows wild pretty much everywhere rural and is absolutely gorgeous. We are surrounded by it near where we are staying in Somerset. But did you know you can eat this little beauty? It’s in the same family as carrots and #parsley. 
____________
It has purported #medicinal uses and was used in traditional
medicine across Europe and Asia such as helping kidney stones, #cough , water retention, headaches and as an #antiinflammatory BUT there is very little scientific research to back this up. However it is apparently a wonderful mosquito repellant if rubbed on the skin.
____________
It doesn’t taste very good (though apparently good in salads or with potatoes) so I should think there is some truth in the anti-mosquito element. Not to be confused with the incredibly poisonous hemlock which should NOT be eaten. If you’re not sure foragers, don’t try it☠️
