CULINARY

Culinary lavender is a type of lavender that is grown and harvested specifically for cooking and other food preparation:

Uses: Can be used in sweet or savory dishes, including baked goods, dressings, marinades, meat rubs, and garnishes

Cultivation: Typically grown organically without pesticides, herbicides, or chemicals

Harvesting: Hand-harvested and dried

Preparation: Before cooking, it's recommended to sift and shake the buds to remove any unwanted dried particles

Culinary lavender differs from the aromatic lavender used in soaps and perfumes, which has more oil and is not recommended for cooking. Some say that Lavandins are not good for culinary use.
