Curiosities:

Lemongrass - Lemongrass is a herbaceous plant of the Poaceae family, native to tropical regions of Asia, especially India. This herb contains about 70 per cent of citric essential oil, which is founded in lemon and orange peel. This component is essential to synthesize vitamin A, thus giving it the scent and citrus flavour in any tea or tisane mixture.

Hibiscus - scientifically called "Hibiscus L." the hibiscus is a plant belonging to the Malvaceae family, with about 300 species. However, only a few of these species are edible, as is the case of the popular Hibiscus sabdariffa used in the preparation of hibiscus tea. Most species are used as ornamental plants in gardens. The origin of hibiscus is unknown, but it is believed that it started its first production in Asia and East Africa. And later, it will have spread across Europe.

In Greco-Roman and Egyptian mythologies, hibiscus represents the female universe directly related to the goddesses Aphrodite, Venus and Isis. There are many myths, legends, and traditions surrounding this flower, including in Tahiti, where young women identify their love status through the position of the hibiscus in the ears. According to this tradition, women who have placed hibiscus in the corner of their right ear are available to find a mate. Otherwise, they will have already found you. The hibiscus flower is still used to offer to tourists as a welcome gesture to the country.

Apple - The apple is originally from Kazakhstan. Proof of this is the name given to its capital "Alma Ata" which, translated, corresponds to the expression "Full of Apples". It was only in 1500 BC that its seeds spread across the European continent. It is believed that several varieties of apples were created through their cultivation in British territory. Currently, there will be close to 8,000 varieties of apples around the world.
