They not only add flavor to your dishes, but herbs and spices also add color, giving a vibrancy that may otherwise be missed.
Growing your own herbs can be a step toward relaxation therapy, as well. Herbs and spices have been used for many years, and each has its own health benefits, such as making our food delectable.
