Dried ground elder is an excellent ingredient in homemade herbal salts. By using herbal salts your daily salt intake will decrease and you’ll imperceptible eat more healthy herbs.
The taste of dried ground elder is aromatic, fresh and soft. You can make a herbal salt with just dried ground elder and some high-quality salt like Guérande sea salt or make a combination of several aromatic herbs. Suitable herbs for a homemade herbal salt are for example nettle, yarrow, lovage and spring onion but you can use your imagination and try whatever herbs you like – wild or garden herbs.
Dry the freshly foraged ground elders (and other herbs you like) gently in 35 degrees. Make sure that the herbs are fully dried. Grind the dried herbs in a mixer and mix the herb powder with the salt.
Herbal salt with ground elder is a good universal spice that is a perfect add to most dishes.
Preserve the herbal salt in a dry place.
