The Dried Mallow flowers ( Malva sylvestris ), also known as "Blue Mallow", are one of nature's most striking herbs, both for their deep purple-blue color and for the soft, velvety texture they offer. They are widely used in the preparation of beverages, in cosmetology and as a decorative element in haute gastronomy.
