Herb
Bud
Flower buds of Woodruff are unopened blooms for pickle, fry, or aroma. Harvest tight and firm. As a bud section of flower, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Add woodruff bud late for perfume or earlier for deep infusion. Store dry forms airtight; keep fresh stems damp. May wine, syrups, and jellies are classic paths.
