Cornflower
The Centaurea cyanus, known as cornflower, is included in the European pharmacopoeia for its soothing and decongesting properties.
What does it look like?
Native to the southern valleys of the Himalayas and Indochina, the citron tree was introduced to Persia several centuries BC. The Greeks were the first to cultivate it, and it was not until much later that oranges and lemons appeared.
The citron is a large, oval, bumpy fruit that can weigh up to 4 kg. It grows slowly, with citron trees bearing fruit after around three years. Its skin is thicker and less smooth than that of a lemon and covered with protuberances.
Its acidic green or yellow pulp cannot be used to make juice. Citron and its zest are eaten candied in pastries, confectionery, jams, and liqueurs, while its essence is used in perfumery. For external use, citron is known for its toning and cleansing properties.
