Description

Gardener's herb is a herbaceous plant commonly used in various traditional recipes and home remedies. It is a wild species that grows spontaneously in gardens and cultivated lands, hence its name. This herb is valued both for its fresh aroma and its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties.

Origin: Gardener's herb is native to Latin America, especially in rural areas where its culinary and medicinal qualities are utilized. It is frequently found in countries of the Southern Cone such as Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay.

Properties: This herb has digestive properties, helps relieve stomach discomfort, and can function as a mild natural anti-inflammatory. Additionally, its slightly bitter and herbal flavor makes it ideal for seasoning broths, stews, and vegetable-based preparations, providing a fresh and aromatic touch.

Synonyms in Spanish from Hispanic America: depending on the region, gardener's herb may also be known as gardener's grass, mountain herb, or bitter herb, although the exact term may vary by country.
