Cornflower
The Centaurea cyanus, known as cornflower, is included in the European pharmacopoeia for its soothing and decongesting properties.
À quoi ça ressemble ?
Originaire des vallées méridionales de l’Himalaya et de l’Indochine, le cédratier a été introduit en Perse plusieurs siècles avant JC. Les Grecs furent les premiers à la cultiver et ce n’est que bien plus tard que l’orange et le citron feront leur apparition.
Le cédrat est un gros fruit ovale et bossu qui peut peser jusqu’à 4kg, sa croissance est lente : le cédratier en donne vers 3 ans. Sa pelure est plus épaisse et moins lisse que celle du citron et couverte de protubérances.
Sa pulpe acide verte ou jaune ne permet pas d’en faire des jus. Le cédrat et son zest est consommé confit en pâtisserie, en confiserie, en confiture ou en liqueurs, tandis que son essence est employée en parfumerie. En usage externe, le cédrat est reconnu pour ses vertus tonifiantes et assainissantes.
