Herbs are leafy green or flowering plants valued for their aromatic, culinary, and medicinal properties. They are rich in essential oils, vitamins (like vitamin C and vitamin K), minerals (such as calcium and potassium), and antioxidants. Common culinary herbs include basil, parsley, cilantro, rosemary, thyme, and mint, each offering distinctive flavors and potential health benefits. Herbs are used fresh or dried in cooking to enhance flavors in salads, soups, sauces, marinades, and beverages, providing both culinary enjoyment and nutritional support for overall well-being.
