What Are Culinary Herbs And Spices?

Herbs are usually the green, leafy part of aromatic plants grown for culinary use. Spices are the seeds, berries, bark, root, or other parts of the plants. As a general rule when cooking the spices should be add early to the dish so the flavors will meld and blend into the dish and herbs should be added nearer the end of cooking process.

Why You Should Cook With Herbs And Spices.

Spicing up your foods not only makes them taste great, it can also help to reduce the presence of bacteria such as E. coli, and slow the spoilage of leftovers. In studies, garlic, onion, allspice, clove, cinnamon, sage and oregano were found to have the greatest antibacterial benefits, killing off most of the bad bacteria present in foods. Thyme, tarragon and cumin were also very effective. While researchers caution that foods must still be cooked to the proper temperature to prevent food-borne illness, it's clear that a sprinkling of spices can help keep bacteria at "bay" and preserve your leftovers for a longer "thyme."

Various herbs and spices contain many nutrients and phytochemicals which may carry health benefits. To learn more about the health benefits of herbs and spices visit our article section. Learn more about our USDA certified 100% organic spices and herbs.
