Ground-ivy (Glechoma hederacea) is a low-growing, creeping perennial in the mint family. Features kidney-shaped, scalloped leaves, square stems, and small, tubular, bluish-purple flowers in spring, and it emits a minty odor when crushed. Other names include Gill-over-the-ground and Cat's foot.

It's nutritious edible and medicinal, rich in Vitamin C, iron, and potassium, featuring a mild, earthy flavor. Medicinally, it acts as a, "tonic" for respiratory issues and congestion, and can be used in salads, teas, and pestos. It contains compounds with anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and high antioxidant activity. It has been used to help with indigestion, gallbladder issues, and is sometimes used in herbal medicine for bruising, skin soothing, or as a traditional remedy for tinnitus.

These are grown in my uncertified organic garden, or carefully selected in the wild, depending on availability.
