Cook it just like when you cook with other vegetables mixed together. It can be mashed slightly and mixed with dough to make wormwood bread or cake. We usually make wormwood rice cake for our snack foods. Mashed wormwood with grinded sesame and mayonnaise is a good healthy salad on your table.

It is also used for stomach troubles, vomiting, hemostasis (stopping blood flow), high blood pressure, and for moxibustion. Its slightly bitter taste makes it a great appetizer.
