About Achillea millefolium
Achillea millefolium, commonly called yarrow, is a perennial herb whose leaves and flowering tops have been used as a bitter, aromatic herb. Culinary use is generally as a seasoning or infusion rather than as a substantial vegetable.
The finely divided leaves have a feathery appearance, while flowering stems bear clusters of small flowers. Its flavour is herbal and bitter, and can be pungent; dried herb and fresh aerial parts are distinct forms. The name alone does not identify which part or preparation is supplied.
