Everything You Didn’t Know About Herbs

Introduction

Have you ever been in a kitchen and wondered, “What are all these herbs doing here?” Well, I’m here to tell you that they’re more than just garnish! Herbs can add flavor, aroma and color to your foods. They can also provide health benefits such as boosting your immune system or helping reduce stress levels.

Herbs are broadly defined as vegetables that are used to flavor food.

Herbs are broadly defined as vegetables that are used to flavor food. However, there’s a lot more to them than that! They’re often mistaken for vegetables, but they’re actually plants (and sometimes flowers) with medicinal and culinary properties.

Herbs are medicinal, culinary, and aromatic plants from all over the world.

Herbs are plants that have been used as medicine, cooking spice and aromatic plant all over the world. Herbs can be grown in your backyard or a small plot of land. Some herbs such as oregano are perennial while others like mint and parsley are annuals.

There is a wide variety of herbs that can be used for medicinal purposes and for flavoring food. Some common herbs include cilantro (also known as coriander), dill, mint, rosemary, sage and thyme which can be used to flavor foods like soups or stews. These same herbs also have medicinal properties when taken internally; they help with digestion or may even reduce stress levels when inhaled through aromatherapy techniques that use essential oils extracted from certain plants

Herbs can be grown indoors or outdoors, and some, such as basil and parsley, can be grown all year in a container garden.

Whether you’re a gardener or an indoor plant owner, herbs can be grown in any location. Basil and parsley are great for growing indoors because they are compact plants that don’t require much space. They can also thrive in window boxes and small garden beds where there’s limited sunlight. If you have a larger area to work with, try planting basil and parsley outdoors in your flower bed or vegetable garden!

Since herbs are not deep-rooted, they require less water than most other plants.

If you’re looking for an easy-to-grow plant that requires little maintenance, herbs are the way to go. Since they have a shallow root system and grow quickly, herbs require very little water compared to other plants. It is still important to water regularly since they can still dry out quickly if left unattended for too long. You can grow them in pots on your patio or in your garden; just be sure not too overwater them so their roots don’t rot!

The best time to harvest is before the plant flowers.

Harvesting herbs before they flower is the best way to preserve their flavor. (If you’re planning on drying your herbs, be sure to cut them back and hang them upside down in a dark, dry place.) Once an herb begins flowering and producing seeds, its essential oils start changing. The taste will change as well. Some people prefer a more robust flavor of mint in teas or tinctures after it has gone through this transformation; others find it too strong after flowering begins.

If you’d like to harvest at home during the growing season, we recommend harvesting in spring or summertime when plants are at their peak of growth. Harvesting during these times will also ensure that your herbs stay fresh as long as possible before going bad!

As far as when each type of herb should be harvested: there really isn’t any hard-and-fast rule here; some people prefer evening harvests while others opt for morning ones if they have time constraints throughout the day (for example).

By using fresh herbs instead of dried, you get a more intense flavor to complement your foods.

When you’re deciding whether to use fresh or dried herbs, you should keep in mind that fresh herbs are the way to go. They are more flavorful than dried ones and have a fresher taste. If you’re cooking a dish that will be served with fish or chicken, for example, using fresh oregano instead of dry is a great choice because it has more intense flavor that complements these foods well.

Fresh herbs can be used for many different dishes: soups and stews; salads; sauces; egg dishes; meat dishes such as lamb shanks, beef stew and pork ribs; seafood such as scallops or chicken breast strips with honey mustard sauce (an excellent option). They can even be added to grilled vegetables like zucchini slices! There are so many options when it comes down to this versatile ingredient which makes them an excellent addition wherever possible.*

Freezing your herbs keeps them fresh for quite a while.

If you’re like me, you love fresh herbs. But as a busy mom of three energetic kids, who works full-time outside the home, it can be difficult to find time to go grocery shopping. And it’s even harder when you want to keep your kitchen stocked with fresh herbs!

Luckily for us all, there is an easy solution: freezing your herbs!

Herbs can be incorporated into cooking by sauteing them in oil or butter at the start of the recipe. This is done to bring out their flavor and aroma, which are typically lost when cooked for too long. Herbs can be used in soups, stews and sauces. They can also be added to make tea, pesto sauce or salad dressing.

You can use herbs to make herbal teas by steeping them in hot water for a few minutes.

Steep your herbs for a few minutes in hot water. You can add honey or lemon to sweeten the tea, which will also add some extra health benefits to your diet.

Herbal teas are very easy to make and can be made with many different kinds of herbs, so there’s no reason not to try making one for yourself!

You can dry herbs in a few different ways – hanging them upside down in bunches or laying them out on an oven pan with parchment paper in your oven set on low heat for a couple of hours.

When drying fresh herbs, it is important to tie the stems together and hang them upside down inside of a kitchen cabinet. When using this method, make sure you place some sort of weight on top of the bundle to help keep it from breaking apart as it dries.

Another option is to lay out your fresh herbs onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper and place them in an oven set at low heat for two hours or so until they are completely dried out. Although this method works well, it tends not to yield as much product as simply hanging them up by their stems would produce because any moisture left behind will cause molding issues when stored too long after processing has occurred; however, if you’re only going to use small amounts at once then this method might work just fine!

Herbs are valuable plants that should be incorporated into every kitchen!

Herbs make great tea. You can use fresh or dried herbs to brew your favorite blend at home.
Herbs can also be grown indoors or outdoors depending on your climate and personal preference. If you don’t have the space for a garden in your backyard, consider planting herbs in containers so they’re easier to move around as needed!
