Most \"lavender\" sold in bulk bins is actually \u003cem\u003elavandin\u003c\/em\u003e (a hybrid), which carries more camphor and tends to taste soapy in food. That's why so many people try lavender once, decide they hate it, and never come back. Ours is the angustifolia — the one that tastes like flowers, not perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor profile.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly sweet.
