    Common Hogweed

    Common Hogweed is found dotted around the roadsides and verges and is one of our favourite Rhynie flavours, offering good eating at all stages of its growth.  When the plant is young, the tender shoots are delicious steamed with butter or pickled in brine.  After flowering, the crunchy green seeds can be harvested, making a completely unique addition to the Rhynie spice rack; zesty, spicy, bitter, and somewhat “limey”, these seeds pack a punch.  Add to spiced mulled drinks, grind up in spice cakes, or use to make flavoured butter.
