Are you trying to find a recipe that calls for the herb Rue? Like many medicinal plants, it can be poisonous if eaten in larger quantities. Before experimenting with this dubious flavor-enhancing herb, you should watch this video to see what I do with it, and to understand why you might NOT want to follow my example.

My family in Mexico use it as a medicinal herb. Squeezed up a sprig into a small ball and put it in your ear for ear infection. I've tried and it worked!

@afeezadekunle9536 2 года назад

U boil it first to get the juice out for the ear or just put the plant in by itself in the ear ? U also wrap it around like a cotton or no

@mariocean808 2 года назад

@@afeezadekunle9536 just squeeze it and roll it up into a wad and place it the your ear, not too deep.

@meazagezahegn9375 9 месяцев назад

Nice, I am Ethiopian I grow in my backyard. I drink it with coffee tea and just with hot water.

@itsallgravy7 Год назад

I found it at the grocery store as a potted plant. It picked a piece off and tasted it. I bought the plant because I like raw taste. Bitter herbs are actually very good for cleansing the liver.

@Nozarks1 6 месяцев назад

Please take in very small doses.

@yemariam2110 Год назад

As an Ethiopian origin, i love rue, we call it Tena Adam. My mom used to give us when we where sick. Yes a lots of people used it in their coffee back home. Now I come across ur video cause I just got a Small branch from a friend house and is wondering how to plant it. Thank you 😊

@mekdesstudio Год назад

Place clean steam in water, it might root. It is best to get seeds.

@patriciaelizondo7263 3 года назад

I’m a new subscriber Carl. I grew up in Mexico and I remembered that my Mother and Grandmother use “Ruda” for ear aches and ear infection. Thank you for sharing Karl!

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 3 года назад

Awesome! Thank you!

@afeezadekunle9536 2 года назад

What are the instructions for the earaches

@CHAVEOCHOA Год назад

My parents grew up in Mexico too and they would use it for ear aches and stomach aches when we were little. My dad would also always have cinnamon, ruda, and hierbabuena (mint) teas. I need to go back and do these teas for us now too. ❤

is common in ethiopias traditional food making process. In every family garden you will get atleast one rue plant and included in coffee making, for shiro, treat some common health problems,...

@Mamarita3333 Месяц назад

Very medicinal plant! In Mexico it is used to make tea ☕️ So many health benefits!!!!

@antonianovoa6416 3 года назад

Mom had a big rue bush and as kids, we wrestled and pushed each other into it. Pretty strong scent....never new its history...thank you for sharing! Glad I found your channel!

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 3 года назад

Thank you so much! Welcome to my channel!

@meliries 3 года назад

Thanks for this. Hot chocolate made with water instead also tastes great with rue.. probably good in a mocha too

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 3 года назад

Wow! I need to try that! 😀

@Pausereflectandbreathe 2 года назад

I have this plant this year from a garden center. Good to know the uses of this. It says in the tag that it repels mosquitos that's why I bought it. I'll try this in my coffee next time. I hope I'll like it too. Thank you! ❤️🙏

@haven_lady675 5 месяцев назад

My family drink Abuelita hot chocolate with rue and its so aromatic. My mom says it helps relieve menstrual cramp pain.

@barbarabowlin5493 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment regarding rue, especially for its use in coffee. I had read so many cautionary reviews, I was almost reluctant to try it as a Senior. But since I do not take any medications, I plan to try a little in my coffee. I love chicory coffee! And, a good friend from African said she uses it as a tea... Interesting.

@1Lightdancer 3 года назад

I began using some in my coffee as well, and really enjoy it! Some folks do have a dermal 'poison oak' like reaction, but I never have problems with it

@sandraflores2914 6 месяцев назад

Going to have to try it in my coffee sounds good.. Id love to share seeds and plants great idea.

@Trailtotable Год назад

Great, I just posted a vid I did on Rue today and of course yours came up as a recommendation. I will try this in my coffee tomorrow, thanks!

@SajeevaYoga1 3 года назад

Never heard of this one. I've enjoyed cardamom, clove, ginger, and cinnamon in coffee before.

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 3 года назад

It's an Ethiopian thing. I really like it! 😁

@Janhoy723 Месяц назад

You are right…it is an iconic herb of Ethiopia and one is used in the preparation of ‘Berbere’ and ‘Shiro’. We also use it to flavor our Coffee and tea. There are medicinal properties to rue and it’s used for stomachache and other ailments. It’s also revered as a protective herb against the evil eye.🪴

@SandraMacedo-j6u Месяц назад

Cool

@sflexusford Год назад

I have made rue tea with sugar- tastes good no issues

@jtcs731 2 года назад

Fascinating ✨

@ima8533 2 года назад

Ber ber ray And the seeds are used for it But Ethiopians do use it in coffee too

@Loveafricalovetheworld Год назад

You are right it is Berbere and shiro we also use to relief cold and flu can boil it with milk and give it to the sick person.

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 8 месяцев назад

Great info! Thank you!

@Nozarks1 6 месяцев назад

How much rue would you put in 1 cup milk?

@mweber5459 4 месяца назад

It can cause a blistery rash on some people when they touch it.

@peace2all51 2 года назад

Berbere😂 for coffee it is the best

@khatoontaher6555 2 года назад

I liked your video and wish you a good luck. I am from Saudi Arabia but I live currently in USA. I have been looking for this plant 🪴 Rue to use it in some recipes.

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 2 года назад

It's a wonderful ingredient! Good luck!

@sylvialeohr9407 2 года назад

look in small nurseries mom and pop type.

@wemuk5170 Год назад

Hi Karl, I have a baby rue waiting to be planted but I’m hesitating [even though I love eating a sprig in sweet mung bean soups my late mum used to make] because people say its stem sap burns + blisters the bare skin especially that of kids. So I wonder if you know whether I can grow it safely in a pot on a garden table, so that no kid will ever stumble/fall into it? Can I grow it in a small pot do you think, despite its shrubby looking root?

@samanthal1917 3 года назад

We use rue in a traditional sweet mung bean dessert in Asia :) How much do you add to coffee? Do you just tear it up and add it in?

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 3 года назад

Great question! I just take a couple of sprigs, like I'm holding here, tear them up and put it in with the coffee grounds for a pour-over or in the espresso maker. Sorry for the late response, by the way. It's been a crazy few weeks! 🙃

@mariatavares7655 2 года назад

Karol , bought on and it's died 😭 how often do you water it.? 🙄🙄🙄 Sad my Rue died.

@Trailtotable Год назад

Bummer! Mine is near impossible to kill. I never water it. I'm in Maryland, since it's a Mediterranean plant it gets more than enough water from the rain.

@wemuk5170 Год назад

@@Trailtotable I heard you can kill rue easily enough just by over-watering it. It thrives on neglect like rosemary, so one needs to be not a ‘controlling’ gardener but a ‘curator-steward’ type, I hear. I have one baby one but unsure at the moment whether to grow it just in case the kids fall into it. Its sap from broken stems will burn & blister the skin painfully on sunny days.

@BermudaEntrepreneur 3 года назад

Man I been looking for this for years. How can I get some seeds?

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 3 года назад

Hey! Good question and easily answered. I got mine from a friend, but it's readily available online. Do a wed search and I'm sure you'll find some! 😉

@Erenm Год назад

Strictly medicinal seeds has them, among many other places! And many plant nurseries sell the whole plant as well!

@tyronequaker4959 2 года назад

What herb helps with nerve damage, burning, stabbing ? I’ve tried rue, it works but but for sciatica pain. What other Ethiopian herbs help

@karlsfoodforestgarden6963 2 года назад

Sorry, I'm not an herbalist. I wish I could help!!!

@afeezadekunle9536 2 года назад

How do u use it for nerve damage ? U jsut boil it with water and drink the juice ?

@atthewell9302 Год назад

Look up Dr. Christopher’s ear and nerve tincture and also tissue and bone. Hot cayenne tincture taken before taking the herbs has had great results my friend. I’m not an herbalist but this has worked for their nerve pain in the cervical spine. There’s also a treatment that they did called Frequency Specific Microcurrent session. I’m not a medical professional or herbalist but just second hand what I’ve heard. People turn to herbs a lot and I’m just glad it worked for them.
