About Verbena

Verbena is a common name used for plants in the genus Verbena and, in food contexts, for plant material used as an herb or infusion ingredient. The label does not identify a species or plant part, so a particular culinary verbena cannot be assumed.

It may be encountered fresh or dried, whole or cut, and used to flavour foods or prepare an infusion. Appearance, aroma, and flavour depend on the species and plant part. The name alone does not establish whether the item is a leaf, flowering herb, or another preparation.
