Rue Powder: Overview
Rue powder, also known as "Rue Herb Powder" or "Herb-of-Grace Powder," is derived from the dried leaves of the rue plant (Ruta graveolens). Rue is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region and has been used for centuries for its various medicinal and culinary applications. Rue powder, with its characteristic bitter and aromatic flavor, is used sparingly as a spice or flavoring agent in some Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes.
In traditional herbal medicine, rue has been employed for its potential digestive and anti-spasmodic properties, although it should be used with caution due to its toxicity at high doses. It has a rich history in folklore and superstition, often associated with protection and warding off the evil eye. Rue powder, when used thoughtfully, offers a unique flavor and has a place in certain culinary and traditional contexts.
