Galium odoratum, also known as sweet woodruff or sweetscented bedstraw, is a perennial plant found in Europe, Asia, and North America. It is cultivated for its fragrant flowers and foliage and is often used as a flavoring agent due to its high coumarin content. This plant prefers partial to full shade and moist, rich soils. It is commonly used in potpourri, as a moth deterrent, and in various food and drink products. While it was once used in sweets, its industrial usage was prohibited in Germany due to its toxicity to rats and mice. However, it has not been found to be harmful to humans and is still used in some products in limited quantities.
