The product is suitable for teas, sweet and savory recipes, as well as natural relaxation practices.   Scientific identity & chemical profile Lavender comes from the species Lavandula angustifolia Mill., one of the most aromatic and bioactive types of lavender worldwide. Its chemical profile includes linalool, linalyl acetate, camphor, 1,8-cineole, and a number of phenolic compounds. These compounds are associated with documented properties such as antioxidant activity, mild anti-inflammatory effects, and relaxing aromatherapeutic effects (bibliographic references: Cavanagh & Wilkinson, 2002; Prashar et al., 2004). Antioxidant properties & other actions Organic edible lavender has high antioxidant capacity due to the presence of phenolic acids and monoterpenes. At the same time, it exhibits mild antimicrobial and soothing properties. Many studies indicate that its extracts contribute to reducing oxidative stress and relaxing the nervous system. How this property helps humans The antioxidant compounds in lavender protect cells from free radicals, strengthening the body’s natural defenses. Its relaxing effect helps improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, and promote overall well-being. As a tea, it helps you relax after a demanding day, while its mild antispasmodic properties can relieve digestive tension. What is responsible for this property? The therapeutic profile of lavender is due to the combination of its essential oils—mainly linalool and linalyl acetate—components that have proven neuro-relaxant and antioxidant properties. Cultivation in a sunny, dry microclimate, such as that of Lemnos, further enhances the aroma and concentration of essential oils. Use as a seasoning in cooking   Organic edible lavender is used in many applications: Sweets: cookies, creams, ice cream, cakes. Savory dishes: chicken, lamb, cheese, Mediterranean marinades. Handmade spice blends, especially in French “Herbes de Provence”. Only a small amount is needed due to its strong aroma. Use as a medicinal herb & tea   As an herbal tea, it is traditionally used for relaxation, stress reduction, mild headache relief, and sleep aid. How to prepare the tea correctly? (see the Recipes article)   Add 1 teaspoon of flowers to 250 ml of hot water. Do not boil the herb – just heat the water. Steep the herb in hot water for 3–4 minutes. Strain and drink plain or with honey. Proper extraction (steeping) preserves the mild aromatic and relaxing properties without a bitter aftertaste.
