How to Choose the Best Herbs? 

Herbs are aromatic plants that add fragrance and flavor to dishes. Fresh or dried, herbs are essential for creating bright, flavorful meals. Whether you're cooking Mediterranean, Asian, or classic American dishes, the right herbs are essential.

What to Look for in Herbs? 

✔ Fresh over dried – Fresh herbs often have a more vibrant and intense flavor than dried ones, but both can be used effectively depending on the dish.
✔ Look for organic options – Organic herbs are grown without pesticides, offering purer flavor and higher quality.
✔ Proper storage – Fresh herbs should be stored in the fridge and used quickly, while dried herbs should be kept in airtight containers away from light.

How to Use Herbs in Cooking? 

✔ Incorporate early for cooking – Herbs like rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves are best added during cooking to infuse flavors into stews and roasts.
✔ Use fresh herbs as a garnish – Bright herbs like basil, cilantro, and parsley are best used fresh to garnish salads, soups, and grilled meats.
✔ Make herb-infused oils or butters – Blend herbs with oils or butter for added flavor in dressings, dips, or to drizzle over dishes.
