Rue has been used since ancient times in many different ways including as a seasoning, medicine and as a protection plant against the plague. This article by Mother Earth Gardener has an interesting write up about some of its historical and current uses.
Rue is known for occasionally causing contact dermatitis - especially if you are handling the plant in hot sunny weather. We recommend handling with gloves if you are wanting to be cautious.
