Healthy, because
Woodruff and May - both are inseparable and make the green panna cotta something very special. In naturopathy, the woodruff has been said to have many useful properties for centuries, such as its antispasmodic and soothing properties.

In May and June, with a bit of luck, you can find woodruff at the weekly market, in a well-stocked greengrocer's shop or garden centre, or you can simply collect it yourself. From April to June he feels at home in beech forests. The distinctive smell when the lancet-shaped leaves are crushed is a clear identification mark.
