Description
Oat herb is extracted from Avena sativa, an ancient grain that has been cultivated in Europe since prehistoric times. Over the centuries, a rich tradition has developed around the crop: in Northern Europe, oats played an important role in agriculture, folk customs and rituals surrounding harvest and fertility.
When dried and used as an infusion, the herb has a soft, mild flavour with the recognisable character of the oat plant. It is a pleasant ingredient that is often used in herbal blends because of its light, natural aroma.
