It is a scented plant with saw-toothed, oval leaves, which bears white flowers between June and August, and edible baby leaves.[5]

Culinary use

Like many other species belonging to the family Apiaceae, chamnamul has aromatic leaves and is used as a culinary herb.

Korea

In Korean cuisine, the smooth leaves and crunchy stems of young chamnamul are served fresh or balanced as a spring namul (seasoned herbal vegetable dish). In North Korea, chamnamul-kimchi is a popular dish, known as one of Kim Il Sung's favourite.[6] Recently in South Korea , chamnamul is one of the ingredients that frequently feature in Korean-style western food recipes, such as chamnamul pasta or chamnamul pesto.[7]
