Varieties today include fruit in several shades including pink, white, and red. Grapefruit peel oil is often used in aromatherapy to treat depression and stimulate excitement.
Tamarind - First found in eastern Africa, this plant is now found in Asia, Australia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. In the Philippines, tamarind leaves are used to treat malaria fever, while it is also used to sooth digestion problems. Tamarind is used to flavor food and drink all over the world, especially Mexico, where it is popular in candies and flavored waters. Its aroma, like a combination of peaches and oranges, smells tropical.
Tangerine - This orange-red citrus fruit got its name from Tangier, Morocco, the first port that shipped tangerines to Europe. With a relatively short peak season of November through January, tangerines were commonly found in children’s Christmas stockings. Tangerine flavor is still used in drinks while the fruit itself can be found in desserts, salads, and even main dishes. Its sweet, orange-like scent adds a fruity hint to cosmetics.

Used to flavor beverages, cookies, candies, cakes, and crackers in the West, it is also used to spice up Eastern cuisine of all sorts.

Cucumber - For at least 3000 years, this cylindrical green fruit, a relative of the pumpkin, has been grown for human consumption. It could be found on Roman Emperor Tiberius’ table every day, and it is mentioned in the Bible. Its cooling, relaxing effects can be observed in many cosmetics, as well as spa treatments including cucumber slices placed over the eyes.

Black currant - First cultivated in central and northern Europe and northern Asia, these edible dark purple berries grow on small shrubs. They produce a sharp, sweet taste and are frequently used to make jam, juice, jelly, ice cream, liqueur, and cordial in Britain. Additionally, the berries are a good source of vitamins and antioxidants when consumed. In the early 1900s, currant farming was federally banned in the U.S. because it helped spread White Pine Blister Rust, which threatened the farming industry. In 1966, states gained right to decide about currant farming and several have since removed the ban. However, because of the ban, black currants are still fairly unknown in the U.S., though they remain very popular in Europe, especially the UK. Perhaps this popularity originated during WWII, when citrus fruits became scarce in England, and instead black currants provided vitamin C.
Lavender - Native to the Mediterranean region, northern and eastern Africa, and India, this fragrant flower was used to scent bathwater and thought to rejuvenate the skin in Roman times. During the Black Plague, it was used to ward off fleas, carriers of the deadly illness. Throughout WWI, it was used to disinfect hospitals because of its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. In aromatherapy, lavender oil rubbed on the temples is believed to relieve headaches, while lavender tea is believed to have calming and relaxing effects.

Although the tree is referred to as the pimento, the berries are more often called allspice because their aroma is like a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pepper. The essential oil is produced from unripe berries and is used extensively in both the food and perfume industries.
Clary sage - Native to Europe and Asia, this herb produces a unique, pungent aroma, described as “spicy” or “hay-like.” The leaves of this plant have been cooked as a vegetable and used to flavor ale and wine. It is also made into tea and used in aromatherapy to produce a soothing effect.

Vanilla - Originating in Mexico, these orchids are now grown throughout the tropics. When the Spanish first encountered the Aztecs, vanilla was one of the earliest food items they were introduced to. The black pods were considered more prized than the pale flowers, and continue to be used in flavoring food, like ice cream. Vanilla’s sweet, agreeable aroma is also often used in perfume.
