Yomogi=Wormwood

Wormwood is called Yomogi in japan.
Yomogi is eaten in various ways. Forexample, Yomogi Mochi, Yomogi bread, Yomogi Dango and Tea.
Yomogi dumpling goes well with red beans paste.

March-April is the harvest season for wormwood. The wormwood of this season is soft and very good smell.
So I harvest wild Yomogi in every spring. 
Yomogi often grows in sunny places.
The young leaves of the wormwood have white hair and look shiny. So you can find it immediately.

My mother cooked Yomogi Mochi. I cooked Yomogi bread. They were very delicious.
We cooked them using a home bakery.


 

Wormwood is good for health, chills, anemia, smooth blood flow.
In Yomogi dish preparation, wash the wormwood and boil it a little.
This boiled juice is good for skin and body when put in the bath.
Finely chop the prepared wormwood and mix it with bread and Dango dough.
