Their leaves, flowers and seeds perform a bit of magic on foods with aromatic characteristics as well as with the flavor they impart. Most culinary herbs, when used as seasonings for soups and stews, stuffing, sauces, vegetables, meat, fish will awaken your taste buds, transforming a routine meal into one of refreshing flavors and crunchy textures.
