Rue is a hardy evergreen shrub mentioned by writers from Pliny to Shakespeare and beyond, as an herb of remembrance, of warding and of healing.
A Modern Herbal refers to the plant's 'disagreeable odour and flavour', but in truth, the bitterness of the leaves is only evident in large doses.
In smaller amounts, it imparts a pleasant, musky flavor to cream cheeses and light meats.
Rue was once believed to improve the eyesight and creativity, and no less personages than Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci regularly ate the small, trefoil leaves to increase their own.
