Botanical Name - Fragaria vesca Origin - Bulgaria Flavor Profile - Sweet and pleasant tasting. Pairs well with mild flavored herbs, flowers and dried fruit peels. Culinary Usages - Strawberry leaf is excellent for tea, alone or combined with other herbs. Cosmetic Usages - Use strawberry leaf tea to cleanse and tone the skin or as a hair rinse. Oil infusions may be used to produce ointments, creams and other body care products. Strawberry leaf is obtained from the common garden strawberry plant grown for its fruit. Many people don’t realize that the leaf of the plant can also be harvested and, like the fruit, is also an excellent source of vitamin C, tannins, minerals and antioxidants. Strawberry leaf, fresh or dried, lends a mild, slightly fruity flavor to tea blends. Because strawberry leaves contain astringent compounds, strong infusions also have topical applications. They may be used as a facial wash or final hair rinse. Both water and oil infusions may be used to make soaps, salves, ointments and lotions.
