Description
Heather flowers, from the Calluna vulgaris, are a feast for the eyes as well as a health treasure. These delicate purple flowers attract countless bees and butterflies in late summer, which love their nectar. They have been used for centuries for their soothing and purifying properties. The flowers are harvested in late summer and early autumn, after which they are slowly dried to retain their valuable contents. Their flavor is mild and subtle, with a hint of spiciness and a gentle honey-like undertone.
