What are Culinary Herbs?
The term "herb" comes from the Latin root "herba" and means herbs, grass. [1] It refers to the green parts of plants, which include leaves, blossoms, and stems. Unlike spices that grow in tropical climates, herbs are cultivated in temperate climates.
Fresh Cooking Herbs - your great partners in the kitchen
Herbs have been used in cooking for centuries since medieval times to turn ordinary everyday meals into tantalizing gustatory adventures. From stimulating taste buds through colourful visual appeal to unusual textures, fresh herbs are an excellent ingredient in your family's cooking every day.
Health Benefits
As herbs contain minimal amounts of sodium, sugar, and fat while providing a variety of flavours and aromas, fresh culinary herbs belong to popular replacement ingredients for cooks who aim for healthier dishes by decreasing the amount of salt, sugar, and fats in standard recipes. Some popular herbs to use in place of salt, sugar, and fats are parsley, coriander, basil, rosemary, thyme, and oregano.
Optimal Weigh Management
Although fresh herbs are not a magic bullet for weight loss, some of them can complement diet and support weight loss. A study published in the National Library of Medicine [2] found that certain herbs, like fennel, peppermint and chamomile, can assist with weight loss by modifying stress, stimulating bowel mobility, and promoting normal metabolism.
Sustainable Future
Grow culinary herbs not only for yourself and for your family. Cooking herbs can be a great way to sustain the wildlife in your garden. When you grow culinary herbs, you provide pollinators, birds, bees, and butterflies, with fresh food that they can use to survive and thrive. Imagine the feeling of having an aesthetically pleasing garden and helping to support the health of local wildlife.
