Camel grass: the Saharan aromatic herb

In this article we take a close look at camel grass: its traditional use in Morocco, how to use it and general precautions.

Camel grass (الإذخر)

Camel grass is a lemony Saharan aromatic herb, brewed as an infusion and used for fumigation.

How to use: A small sprig is occasionally added to the teapot by tradition, in very small amounts and not regularly. Avoid during pregnancy, breastfeeding and for children.

How to choose and store camel grass

• Always use a clean, dry spoon.
• Buy enough for a few weeks so it stays fresh and fragrant.
• Choose a product with a clear origin and a label showing ingredients, size and date.
• A natural smell and colour are good signs; avoid anything that smells off or looks damp.
• Keep camel grass in an airtight container away from light, heat and moisture.
