The yam root is one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. In Asia, the plant was already being cultivated around 3000 BC. In China, it is known as Chinese yam, and in Japan as nagaimo. In Africa, too, yam still forms an important part of the daily diet today.
The domestication of yam took place independently on different continents. The tubers are highly variable in shape and size. They can be round, elongated, or highly branched. Depending on the species, mature tubers can reach a weight of approximately 1 kilogram to more than 50 kilograms. The flesh also shows variation in color and can be white, yellow, or pink.

Absinthe wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) is a plant from the composite family (Asteraceae). This species is on the Dutch Red List of plants as quite rare and moderately reduced in numbers. It is a perennial plant that grows naturally on dry, calcareous, nitrogen-rich and cultivated soils in temperate regions of Europe, Asia and North Africa. The genus name Artemisia is derived from the Greek hunting goddess Artemis.
The bitter extract of these buds is an important ingredient in drinks such as vermouth and classic absinthe. The most important flavorings are absinthine and the menthol-smelling terpene thujone.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a herbaceous plant in the daisy family (Asteraceae). It is a hardy perennial species common in the Netherlands and other parts of Europe.

Yarrow has a long history and has been described in botanical and historical sources for centuries. The plant is named after the Greek hero Achilles, who, according to tradition, used yarrow, contributing to the herb's fame in classical antiquity.
