What is the difference between spices and herbs?
Herbs and spices are often confused with each other because they’re often grouped together in the grocery store. However, herbs and spices are not the same things. Herbs are harvested from the leaves of plants, while spices come from every other part of the plant such as the roots, berries, seeds, or the bark of the plant.
What are the benefits of herbs and spices?
Herbs and spices are more than just a flavor enhancer. They can actually help improve your overall health and well-being. There are a number of herbs and spices that have been used since ancient times as medicine to promote digestion, relieve headaches, boost immunity, reduce blood sugar levels, soothe sore throats, and more.
Spices have been used in cooking for thousands of years. They add flavor and color to dishes and can be used to make dishes healthier by adding nutrients. Spices are also often easier to digest than other ingredients, making them a good choice for those with sensitive stomachs.
