Description
Looking at curcuma root, it is not surprising that the plant belongs to the ginger family. Another name by which the curcuma is known is "Indian turmeric".
Curcuma is native to India and Southeast Asia. Since it is becoming more and more important, it is cultivated on a large scale, especially in the tropics.
The curcuma plant is a perennial plant, which can grow between 40 and 100cm high. The rootstock of the curcuma is resembling the rootstock of the ginger plant, with the difference that it is strongly orange coloured, smaller and narrower. The flowers of the curcuma are white in colour and quite unremarkable.
Did you know that the curcuma already played a major role in the Middle Ages? At that time it was used to dye materials.
Just like dill, caraway and anise, fennel belongs to the umbellifer family. Through its umbelliferous flowers, the fennel is an obvious representative.
Originally, the fennel comes from the Mediterranean region. Due to its popular aroma, it has spread all over the world. It prefers to grow in sunny and dry places with nutrient-rich soil.
The popular vegetable plant grows 50 to 60cm high and forms white bulbs above the ground. September is the flowering time of fennel, where it develops its characteristic ribbed fruits, which are taste very similar to anise. In addition, the light green leaves of fennel remind of dill.
You may know that the fennel’s bulb can be prepared in the kitchen, but have you already heard that its leaves can also be utilized? They taste great in soups and stews.
Anise belongs to the umbellifer family and is a plant with a long tradition.
The exact origin is not known today, but it is assumed that it originated in the eastern Mediterranean. From there it is believed to have spread to Western Asia in the meantime. Since anise is an economically important plant, it is cultivated in Syria, Russia and Italy, among other places.
The plant can grow to a height of 10 to 60cm, the stem is strongly branched and is quite hairy. However, much more characteristic than the appearance of anise is its sweet smell and spicy-harsh taste, which makes it a very popular spice in the kitchen. For example, it is used especially in Christmas baking, in cakes and bread.
Did you know? The Greek liqueur "Ouzo" is actually made of aniseeds.
The yellow gentian, also known as bitterwort, is a mountain plant from the gentian family.
It is native in Europe, but is rarely found, as the population has declined significantly in recent years. For this reason, it is strongly protected and it is forbidden to collect it. It is mainly found in mountain meadows in the Alps. It can also be found in the highlands of Asia Minor. It especially likes to grow in sunny to slightly shady places with chalky soil.
Of all the native gentian species, the yellow gentian is the largest. Its stem can grow up to one meter high and its root reaches up to 60cm in depth. In July and August, the gentian forms its golden to yellow coloured flowers - but it can take up to 10 years for the plant to show its flowers for the first time.
Many are surprised when they see the yellow flowers of the gentian, as they rather expect blue flowers - reason for this: the german hit song "Blau, blau, blau blüht der Enzian".
The artichoke also belongs to the daisy family, just like the marigold or arnica. Botanically, however, it belongs to the thistles, which can not be doubted when the artichoke is in bloom.
Originally from the Mediterranean region, it has spread to many regions of Europe due to human activity and can now be found in Spain, Great Britain and France. It sometimes can be found in other continents, such as Africa or America.
As mentioned earlier, the artichoke resembles the appearance of a thistle. It has feathered, gray-green leaves and round flower heads, which are popular for their purple color. It is a perennial plant that can grow up to 2 meters high, depending on the type. But since it is very sensitive to cold temperatures, in our country it is grown only annually.
It is a fact that the artichoke was a sign of wealth and prosperity in the past, that is why it was mainly found in the garden of rich Frenchmen.
One of the best known herbs is probably the peppermint. It belongs to the labiates family and is closely related to basil, sage or rosemary.
Peppermint is believed to have its origin in East Asia. However, over the years it has spread worldwide and grows naturally in many countries. The main areas of mint cultivation are, for example, in Greece, England and Spain. In very sunny locations, peppermint tends to grow poorly; semi-shaded locations are more suitable.
The popular plant grows herbaceous and resistant enough to survive the winter with its cold temperatures. 25 cm to 100 cm high can the peppermint grow, and in addition, it has a very flat root system with many branches. There are several varieties of peppermint and depending on the species, the leaves of the plant are light or dark green in color, slightly egg-shaped and have serrated edges. They also contain oil producing glands that are responsible for the typical scent of peppermint. The flowers can also differ in colour - there are pink, purple and white petals.
An interesting addition to peppermint: the English sailors used peppermint to keep their water fresh on longer journeys.
