Welcome to the Celtnet Herb Guide. As this site has grown and many more recipes have been added it's become evident that a guide to the various herbs available to the cook is necessary. With spices becoming more commonly available herbs have become the 'Cinderella' flavourings in the culinary world and more and more herbs are falling out of common usage. These pages are an attempt at bringing all the various culinary herbs together into one place so that you can see what's available and perhaps find something new to use in your own cooking. To use this Herb Guide simply click on the first letter of the herb name above or below. Alternativey why not just browse through the guide. All the herbs given here whether common or rare can be obtained via a specialist herb nursery. |

Herb Guide Entry For: CarawayThis is the description page for Caraway (Carum carvi) and includes a description as well as an image, if available and a selection of recipes from this site that relates to the herb: Caraway.  Caraway (also known as Persian cumin) is a biennial plant, Carum carvi native to Europe and western Asia. It is a member of the Apiaceae (also known as Umbelliferae) plants of which carrots are also a member. The plant has divided feathery leaves and grows to between 20 and 30 cm tall. These bear flower stems that can grow to almost 60cm tall and bear white flowers in umbels (umbrella-like structures). When ripe the fruit are crescent-shaped and contain a single seed. (The fruits of the caraway plant are often, and erroneously, called seeds. If you actually open one of these fruit you will see that it bears a seed within). Caraway seed is most often used as a spice, however caraway greens can also be used as an herb. Caraway leaves have a very fresh taste with a parsley-like undertone. Leaves should be harvested during the growing season (May to July). They are typically used as a flavouring for soups, fresh in salads and are an ingredient in some oriental curries and were one of the herbs used by the Ancient Romans.
