Flavor Meets Function

Throughout history, herbs and spices have been treasured not only for their rarity but also for their ability to enhance flavor and mask unpleasant tastes. Today, we enjoy easy access to a wide variety of herbs and spices, which are commonly used in both cooking and health practices.

Although the terms “herb” and “spice” are often used interchangeably, they refer to different parts of a plant. Herbs come from the edible, green or leafy parts, while spices are derived from other plant parts like buds, bark, roots, berries, or seeds.
