Pineapple Weed

(Wild chamomile) This wild form of chamomile has a marvelous, sweet pineapple-chamomile scent. Both the leaves and flowers are used to brew a delicious tea similar to true chamomile. Used as an aid to digestion, and to promote relaxation and to aid sleep. Contains apigenin, a compound known to help reduce stress and improve sleep. When applied externally, it provides pain relief and soothes insect bites and irritated skin. Its unique pineapple flavour isn’t just for tea it works remarkably well in the kitchen too. Try it as a seasoning for roasted carrots and meats, in vinegars, or in sweet syrups and marmalade. The possibilities are endless.
