National Herbs And Spices Day

On June 10th, National Herbs and Spices Day celebrates the variety and quality of your cooking by using both fresh and dried herbs and spices.

Herbs and spices are used in cooking all year round, and herbs and spices are essential to cooking. But as the summer heats up, developing a knack for cooking with fresh herbs will add a touch of color and zing to your grilling and your kitchen. Not only do they 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 relaxing therapy, as well. Herbs and spices have been used for hundreds of years, and each has its own health benefits, including making our food delectable. Growing your own herbs and spices is a great way to add a touch of spice to your dishes. Herbs grown in your household will add an aromatic and natural fragrance to the air as well.

Also, herbs and spices give certain beverages a unique flavor. Mint, sage, chamomile, lavender, and several others add subtle flavor to hot and cold drinks.

How to identify herbs and spices on a day

Start planting an herb garden and growing your own herbs and spices from there. Dill, fennel, basil, sage, thyme, and cilantro are all great plants to start with, including dill, fennel, basil, sage, thyme, and cilantro.

Reviewing your dried herbs and spices is another way to participate in the festivities. Their quality degrades as a result of time. Be sure to store dried herbs and spices in a cool, dark area, and in sealed containers. How can you tell if your spice or herb has lost its punch? Here's how to find your nose. Crush or rub some into the palm of your hand and take a sniff. If the scent is still pungent, then the quality is still there. However, if you only get a dull, muggy odor, it's probably time to upgrade the herb or spice.
