Wormwood is a perennial plant native to Asia and Europe and naturalized in North America. Also known as absinthe wormwood, the plant produces tall spikes of branched, silver-grey foliage.

Although the herb was once commonly used to flavor beverages and liquors, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration classifies this herb as unsafe due to the presence of thujone. Today, wormwood is largely reserved for use in making herbal bitters.

wormwood herb

Also known as southernwood and green ginger, wormwood is a perennial plant in the daisy family that is native to Europe, Asia, and Africa and now naturalized in the eastern US.

As you might guess from the herb’s species name, it is a component of the spirited beverage known as absinthe. The agent responsible for its flavor and heady effects is thujone, which is toxic in large dosages. While the culinary use of this herb is discouraged, wormwood is a component of traditional herbal bitters formulas.
