Herbs

cooking · plants · flavoring

Leafy flavor makers. Herbs are the green or flowering parts of plants that add amazing tastes and smells to your food. Basil, mint, and parsley are herbs you probably eat all the time.

Different from spices. Herbs come from the fresh leaves and flowers of plants, while spices usually come from dried seeds, bark, roots, or fruits. That's why fresh basil tastes so different from dried cinnamon!

More than just flavor. Herbs aren't only for cooking, people use them as medicine and to make wonderful fragrances and perfumes. Some herbs can help with stomachaches or colds.

Found everywhere. You can find herbs growing all over the world in different climates and places. Many herbs grow easily in gardens or even pots on your windowsill.

Savory and aromatic. The special thing about herbs is they have strong, tasty flavors and wonderful smells that make dishes taste better. Just a little bit of herbs can completely change how a meal tastes.
