Researchers have discovered that the mold from which penicillin is derived grows on the leaves of hyssop.
In the kitchen, the mint-like leaves, with their tart taste, refine soups, meat dishes, chicken, salads or in apricot and peach cakes. Hyssop powder as a spice goes well with almost all vegetable and meat dishes. You make the powder yourself from the dried plant parts, but it is also on the market as a classic Hildegard spice.
Hildegard von Bingen: Hyssop is useful for all dishes, but cooked or powdered it is more useful than raw. If the liver is sick due to the sadness of a man, he should cook young chickens with hyssop and he should eat often, both the hyssop and the young chickens.
