Bertram is a widely distributed plant in the Mediterranean region that visually resembles chamomile but stands out with its mildly spicy flavor.
In Hildegard von Bingen's teachings, Bertram plays a central role alongside galangal and thyme. Hildegard von Bingen recommended it as a versatile spice that supports digestion and promotes well-being. Bertram can easily be cooked into almost any dish or sprinkled on afterward, adding a subtle, spicy, and full-bodied note to meals.
As an essential component of Hildegard cuisine, Bertram should not be missing from any kitchen.
