Leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, and the bark of plants are all components of herbs. There are hundreds of herbs that may be utilized in tiny amounts to give taste to meals. Fresh from the garden or flaked in supermarkets, herbs can be either fresh or dried. Popular herbs include basil, oregano, and rosemary.
Spices are derived from the bark, buds, or fruit of plants. Spices are the dry part of plants that are used to enhance the taste and texture of any meal by adding flavor and aroma. Their effectiveness is often demonstrated with only small quantities needed. Common examples of spices include cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
Generally speaking herbs are found in the “fresher” parts of the plant, while spices come from the drier parts. The fresher the herb, the more flavourful it will be and similarly the drier the spice, the greater the impact it will have.
Seasonings are generally used when preparing food prior to cooking and can be a mixture of spices and/or herbs. They are used to add flavor to food. Some common seasonings include garlic salt, onion powder, and curry powder.
