Not Just for Viewing! Have You Heard of "Eatable Herbarium"?

Did you know there's an edible herbarium?

By soaking plants in a special oil, you can decorate beautifully with a "herbarium (plant specimen)" ♡

This stylish interior item gained popularity around 2017, and now there are nearly 800,000 tags on Instagram, making it a staple handmade item.

While regular herbariums are made to showcase preserved or dried flowers…

Recently, a new type called "edible herbarium" has been attracting attention.

Edible herbarium is made with herbs and fruits ♡

The "edible herbarium" is of course not made with preserved or dried flowers.

Its true form is herbs and medicinal plants submerged in olive oil or vinegar ♡

By soaking your favorite herbs, you can create original oils or vinegars infused with their aroma.

The edible herbarium submerged in a glass bottle looks like a stylish interior piece, a botanical herbarium itself.

If such a stylish item were lined up in your kitchen, it could make everyday cooking even more exciting.

An edible herbarium is a two-in-one item that is great for decoration and delicious to consume! ♡

How to make "#edible herbarium"?

It seems you can also make the edible herbarium yourself.

Simply put lemon verbena, lemongrass, rosemary, or basil in a small bottle and soak them in oil or vinegar for a while. It's very easy! You can also mix in salt or spices, not just herbs.

Since the effects and benefits of herbs vary by type, it might be a good idea to start by participating in a workshop with experts ♡

The finished edible herbarium can be drizzled on salads or used for marinating. You can use it in place of regular olive oil or vinegar.

With a hint of herbal aroma, the edible herbarium can elevate your usual dishes to something stylish and delicious! ♡

There's also an edible herbarium made with fruits!

There are also "edible herbarium" versions made with fruits instead of herbs ♡

This particular one is a fruit herbarium sold by the web shop 'angers', packed with freeze-dried fruits in Italian sunflower oil, making it a colorful fruit herbarium ♡

It can be enjoyed not only as a decorative item but also as a topping for yogurt or ice cream.

Priced at 2,160 yen per bottle, it seems like a nice little gift.
