Welcome to Heart Healthy Recipes' Newsletter!

In-season heart healthy edible lavender* is our focus this month, along with some heart healthy lavender recipes. Recipes include a dairy-free ice cream snack, along with a relaxing bedtime lavender drink.

*Ensure that any lavender that is purchased is clearly marked “edible” or “for consumption” or “baking” to be used as culinary food.

Benefits of Edible Lavender:

Lavender has the ability to soothe nerves, promote better sleep and relaxation. Lavender may also help the heart by reducing blood pressure and heart rate. In addition, lavender may help alleviate and help reduce arrhythmia, which is when the heart has irregular heartbeats. Lavender may help the heart by settling an increased heart rate. The iron content in lavender may also help support the heart by helping transport oxygen to red blood cells.

Warning: Do not ingest lavender oil, but only culinary lavender buds that are certified as edible.
