Ancient Viking kitchens were simple yet functional, and some of them featured built-in indoor herb drying racks. These kitchens were equipped with iron cauldrons, wooden spoons, and other basic cooking tools. The drying racks were typically made of wood or animal bones, and they were placed near the hearth for warmth and proper drying. The Vikings used herbs in their cooking to enhance flavor and preserve food, and drying them allowed for year-round availability in their harsh climate.
