Good to know
Flags: Daisy family.
Contains daisy-family flowers — avoid if you are allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums or marigolds.
Its name comes from the Greek for 'earth apple', after the fruity scent that rises when the low-growing plant is crushed underfoot; in Spain it is manzanilla, the little apple. Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all knew it, and a pot of steeped flower heads has closed the day in European kitchens for centuries.
