Herb
Culinary Lavender Mix
B tier
Culinary lavender mix is a packer’s blend of food-grade dried buds—ideally angustifolia types selected for low camphor and clean floral taste. Quality varies by brand; good mixes smell sweet, not menthol-cleaner. Use for baking blends, herbes mixes, and finishing salts when single-cultivar buds are unavailable. Start with half the recipe amount until you know the pack’s strength.
