Eating for the Season: Herbs
Herbs are a great way to flavor foods all year long! Using herbs (such as basil, cilantro, thyme or oregano) is a great way to increase flavor and decrease salt. (Using and eating too much salt may increase blood pressure and increase risk of heart disease).
Herbs can be used fresh, dried, or powdered. If substituting fresh herbs for dried herbs, remember to use a larger amount than what the recipe calls for.
