<p>Vit Lavendel av sorten 'Alba': nuvarande höjd 20-30 cm</p> <p><strong>Trivialnamn:</strong> Vit Lavendel<br><strong>Vetenskapligt namn:</strong> <em>Lavandula angustifolia</em><br><strong>Familj:</strong> Lamiaceae</p> <h4>Växthistoria &amp; användning</h4> <p>Vit lavendel är en mindre vanlig färgvariant av den klassiska äkta lavendeln – en flerårig krydd- och läkeväxt med lång tradition i både hushåll, trädgård och naturmedicin. Sorten 'Alba' har rent vita blomspiror och silvergrått bladverk, och används precis som den blå lavendeln för doft, mat och medicin.</p> <p>Blommorna kan torkas och användas i teblandningar, bakning eller som dekoration i exempelvis lavendelsocker. Lavendel har traditionellt använts för att främja avslappning, stödja sömn och lugna matsmältningen.</p> <h4>Odling</h4> <p>Trivs bäst i soligt, torrt och varmt läge med väldränerad jord – gärna sand- eller grusblandad. Kalkrik jord är ett plus. 'Alba' blir något lägre än blå lavendel och passar fint i kanter, örtagårdar, krukor eller stenpartier. Klipps tillbaka efter blomning för att hålla formen och stimulera ny tillväxt.</p> <h4>Egenskaper</h4> <p><strong>Årighet:</strong> Flerårig<br><strong>Växtläge:</strong> Sol<br><strong>Höjd:</strong> 30–50 cm<br><strong>Växtzon:</strong> 1–5 (väldränerat läge)<br><meta charset="utf-8"><strong>Blomning:</strong> Juni–juli<br></p>

The White Mulberries have a sweeter taste than their black-fruited relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong>Morus nigra</strong></span></a> . The berries are rich in antioxidants and, like mulberry leaf tea, are thought to help balance blood sugar levels. Thanks to its unusually high nutritional content, mulberries are considered a so-called "superfood", like <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">the goji berry</span></strong></a> .</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Dried white mulberries berries have a caramel-like taste.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">In addition, the berries contain the substance MFE, which stabilizes the blood sugar level and thus naturally calms the body's craving for sugar. Therefore, mulberries are a common snack-substitute for those who want to get rid of their sweet tooth.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">You can also make juice and jam from the berries.</p> <h4 data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Culture:</strong></h4> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The White Mulberry tree is somewhat hardier than its relative <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" title="Black mulberry (Morus nigra)" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/svart-mullbar-morus-nigra" target="_blank"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Morus nigra</strong></span></a> and can withstand temperatures down to -30 <span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span> <span data-mce-fragment="1">C.</span> It can grow in most soils but thrives best in loose, nutrient-rich soils.

This was efficient due to the anti-bacterial properties of the&nbsp;<meta charset="utf-8">substance <em>glycyrrhizin</em>&nbsp;present in the roots. It's also the same substance which provides the sweet flavor. However, <meta charset="utf-8">glycyrrhizin is not metabolized by our bodies and may therefore, just as <a title="Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana)" href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/stevia-sotflockel-stevia-rebaudiana" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/stevia-sotflockel-stevia-rebaudiana"><span><strong>Stevia <span color="#4e991d">(</span><em>Stevia rebaudiana</em><span color="#4e991d">)</span></strong></span></a>, be used as a sweetening substitute for sugar.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Licorice root was sold in pharmacies as a medicine until as late as the 1970s.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The Licorice root can be shredded and made into a tea or a refreshening beverage served with ice.

To protect the plant during the winter, cover the base with twigs, leaves, straw or similar.&nbsp;Measures such as these&nbsp;can allow your Licorice root plant to thrive even in locations that are generally viewed as&nbsp;below its temperature range. The USDA Zone of the Licorice root range from 7-10.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Licorice root may also be grown in a wide pot, put outdoors during the warmer months, and indoors during the colder months.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Licorice root thrives best in well-drained soil and locations with full sun.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The roots, which are the main part used for consumption, become meters long, so a large pot is recommended for pot cultivation.
