Best Wormwood for home cooking

What Wormwood is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.

Why cooks start here

Chiba in Morocco, absinthe in Europe — a bitter leaf used in pinches, never by the handful.

In Moroccan and Spanish cooking, Wormwood is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.

Taste Wormwood before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
