[edit]

Basic information to add to this article: what the spice tastes/smells like. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:32, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are its seeds, used as a spice, known as 'angelica' in English?

[edit]

I'm removing this claim:

As a spice, its common name in English is 'angelica,' although Heracleum species are distinct from the related genus Angelica.

This may be true, but I can't find any evidence for it, and the actual Angelica is used as a spice, so I'd like to see evidence. The reference provided is about the names of the plant in Norwegian and doesn't seem to mention English at all. Rp (talk) 10:21, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Known as just 'hogweed' in English?

[edit]

I also removed the claim that it is known as just hogweed. Native hogweed in English speaking countries is strikingly different (much smaller). Once again, a source is needed. Rp (talk) 10:21, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
