The Lavender Kitchen’s edible lavender bud is from our “Folgate” lavender variety. Folgate is particularly well suited for our high altitude, cold climate growing conditions. It pairs beautifully with both sweet and savory dishes due to its low camphor content and high ester content. “Folgate” is the perfect choice for all edible creations.
