Angelica plants grow up to 10 feet tall and have globe-like clusters of green or yellow flowers that blossom into small fruits. From the family Apiaceae, a subspecies that is cultivated for sweetly scented edible stems and roots, Angelica Root has a long history of use as a traditional medicine and culinary ingredient. It is aromatic and considered to have spicy, bitter and warming energies, and is used in teas, tinctures, and as a flavoring in liqueurs and spirits such as gin.
