Horehound, a member of the mint family, has its origins in Europe and North America. It flaunts velvety, creased, grayish-green, oval-shaped leaves, and petite, cylindrical, ivory blooms. Its flavor profile is characterized by a delightful and unique bitterness, and it is frequently used as a seasoning in the production of a brittle, sugary confection that bears its name.
