Is absinthe wormwood edible

Yes, wormwood, the primary ingredient in absinthe, is technically edible, but it should be consumed with caution. The plant contains thujone, a compound that can be toxic in high doses, potentially leading to adverse effects. While small amounts of wormwood are used in absinthe and some herbal remedies, it is not recommended to eat it directly. Always consult a healthcare professional before consuming any unfamiliar herbs.
