About Alexanders
Alexanders is a traditional edible herb, with leaves, stems, roots, and flower buds used in different culinary ways. Its parts are green or pale depending on age and preparation, and the flavour is aromatic and celery-like, sometimes described as somewhat parsley-like. Young growth is generally more tender than mature stems and leaves.
The plant has been used as a pot herb and seasoning, with young shoots cooked and tender leaves added to foods; roots and buds may also be prepared as vegetables. These parts are not interchangeable: stems can be fibrous, while leaves are leafy and aromatic. The name refers to the plant, not a single standardized edible cut or processed form.
