    Lady’s Bedstraw

    Lady’s Bedstraw is a honey scented plant once used for stuffing the mattresses of pregnant women because it was thought to aid a safe delivery.  The plant contains an enzyme that curdles fat so it has been used in place of rennet in cheese making, giving cheddar cheese its original golden colour.
