Description
Rue (Ruta graveolens) is an aromatic evergreen herb with distinctive blue-green foliage.
Simple Use
I would list this as an ornamental and aromatic garden plant.
It can add unusual foliage to herb gardens and ornamental beds.
⚠️ Important Note
No recipe for this one.
Rue has a documented poisoning risk, and ingestion can cause serious toxicity. It also has a history of pregnancy-related toxicity.
Please note: Rue is grown on our homestead as an ornamental and aromatic plant. We do not recommend it as a beginner culinary herb or provide recipes for consumption.
I’d also be careful handling large amounts of the fresh plant, particularly sap on skin followed by sunlight.
