About Herbs

Herbs are fragrant plants used to enhance flavor and provide nutritional benefits. Originating from various cuisines around the world, they are staples in Mediterranean, Asian, and Middle Eastern cooking, among others. Common herbs include basil, parsley, cilantro, thyme, rosemary, and mint, each offering unique aromas and tastes. Rich in vitamins like A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, herbs contribute to overall health by supporting immune function, reducing inflammation, and promoting heart health. They are low in calories and often used to replace salt or sugar in recipes, making meals healthier. Fresh herbs boast the highest nutrient content, though dried varieties retain their essence over time. Some individuals may experience allergies or sensitivities to specific herbs, so moderation is key. Whether sprinkled over soups or blended into sauces, herbs are powerful natural ingredients that add both nutrition and vibrancy to your plate.
