Sweet cecily (Myrrhis odorata) is a culinary herb and useful natural sweetener, especially for diabetics. The flavour is sweet and aniseed
like.
All parts of the plant can be used: the leaves can be cooked like spinach, the crisp stalks make a
good substitute for celery after light cooking, the roots can be eaten
raw or boiled and the seeds can be used as flavouring.
Add it to fruit when cooking - it neutralises the acid which means you need less or even no sugar.
