Cryptotaenia japonica
Also known as Japanese Honewort. Culinary herb which looks similar to flat leaf parsley and can be used the same way, although it is best used raw as it may be bitter if cooked. Mitsuba means ‘three-leaves’ in Japanese and the flavour resembles a mixture of parsley, celery and coriander – very refreshing. The leaves and stems are softer than parsley, and the roots and seeds are all edible. The plant is high in vitamin C and calcium. Medicinally it is used for haemorrhages, colds and fevers, as well as as a general tonic.
Harvest by cutting clumps of stems and allowing to re-grow. Prefers moist shade. Hardy perennial. Height to 80cm.
9cm pot. Certified organic plant.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
