Plants We Used To Use 100. Common hogweed

Common hogweed (Heracleum spondylium) has been used in herbal medicine, as an aphrodisiac etc. The plant's dried seeds (use gloves, if they're green) can be used in baking, infused in gin, rum or brandy and added as a mulled cider spice. They can even be an alternative to cardamon/coriander in curries.
