What is a wild herb

Nettles in bloom

Wild herbs are edible or usable, native plants that have been edited or only very little landscaping. Thus they do not have the abundance of their secondary ingredients that they need to survive in the competition in nature. These are bitter substances as protection against pests, messengers, vitamins, provitamins, alkaloids, etc. Due to the horticultural growth over a longer period, the plants lose largely these ingredients.

The gardener takes care, taking care of light, away to no root competition to have weeds in the immediate vicinity, the plant poured in drought, etc. One could say that the plants soften and build so that the ingredients from which they are no longer in daily need struggle for existence.

Wild herbs harvesting

Eierspeiskräutl: die Gundelrebe

How many may think of you, yet access to rally wild herbs. It is in the nature, walking through the fields and meadows and picking wild herbs, which one's heart desires. This naive attitude we had at the beginning of our wild herbs kitchen experiences also. Very quickly we realized that it is extremely time consuming to pick wild herbs from the surrounding nature. We cook for 50, 100 or 200 people. It may well be realistic within the family, for 2 to 4familymember - to collect of wild herbs in nature.

It is also very important to us, these herbs largely unencumbered, so in organic quality to have available.

Therefore, we decided in the first season to refer to the majority of our wild herbs in their own Steinschaler gardens (english) - as wild herbs.

Wild provenances: A few plant species but from wild origins. Here we would like to ensure that the plant collections have been collected and sustainable fashion. Among the herbs from wild provenances one example of wild garlic and watercress, which we use extensively to harvest season in the hotel kitchen.
