Some herbs and spices you may be familiar with are: oregano, parsley, rosemary, Thyme, bay leaf, mint. They can be use dry or fresh. Ground spices lose their aroma quickly So it’s important to store in an airtight container and in a cool place for up to 6 months. Besides being delicious, herbs & spices have some interesting health benefits. Both ginger & cayenne pepper are for digestion, while thyme and nutmeg can Calm the stomach. Garlic, cinnamon and other have been shown to have antioxidant properties which can help prevent cell damage. FUN FACTS; A ½ TEASPOON OF DRIED HERBS WILL EQUAL 1 TEASPOON OF FRESH HERBS WHEN COOKING. FRESH HERBS SHOULD BE ADDED AT THE END OF COOKING BECAUSE THEY ARE DELICATE AND WILL BREAK DOWN IN HOT FOOD. THIS MONTH’S RIDDLES What did the chef who was running late need more of?
