Dried chamomile is widely used in cooking, primarily as an ingredient in infusions and teas, which have a calming and digestive effect. It can also be used as an addition to baked goods, such as cakes and cookies, where it gives them a delicate, floral aroma. In the kitchen, it can also be added to rice-based dishes, soups, or sauces to enrich their flavor with subtle herbal notes. Dried chamomile is also used to prepare aromatic herbal butters or to season meats, especially poultry, adding a unique, mild flavor to dishes.
