Spices and herbs are the flavorful plants used in cuisines worldwide to enhance taste and aroma. Derived from seeds, roots, leaves, or flowers, popular varieties include cinnamon, turmeric, basil, parsley, and oregano. With origins spanning continents—from the Mediterranean to Asia—spices and herbs are integral to dishes like curry, pasta sauces, and marinades. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, they can support immunity, reduce inflammation, and improve digestion. For instance, turmeric's curcumin offers anti-inflammatory benefits, while parsley provides a dose of Vitamin K. They are a healthy alternative to excessive salt or sugar, making them an essential part of heart-friendly diets. However, moderation is key, as some blends may contain added sodium or chemical preservatives. Fresh or dried, spices and herbs are a simple way to elevate nutrition and flavor without extra calories.
