A large umbellifer that reaches two metres; the kitchen uses its young, hollow stems, simmered in syrup and candied for cake decoration. ⚠️ In the wild it resembles poisonous umbellifers such as hemlock, so only plants identified with certainty should be gathered.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
