MEANING OF HEALTHY HERB
Herbs have been used for thousands of years to add flavour to meals, as medicine and as a preservative.
Herbs generally refers to the leafy green or flowering parts of a plant (either fresh or dried),
Herbs are a fantastic way to add flavour and colour to any sort of dish or drink, whether sweet or savoury, without adding fat, salt or sugars. In addition to flavour and colour, they each also tend to have their own set of health-promoting properties.
