]]> While dried herbs that come from a container might be easier and more convenient to use while cooking, there is no denying that fresh herbs add a completely different dimension and flavor profile to dishes where they’re used. Picking fresh herbs to use in your kitchen can be a little intimidating if you’ve never done it before, so use these tips to help you out.

Verify With Your Nose

The first thing we do when selecting and buying fresh herbs is smell them. If you get a pleasant, strong aroma of the herb that you are picking up, that almost always means that it is fresh and of good quality. If not, stay away!

Always Refrigerate

After you purchase fresh herbs and bring them home, always place them in your refrigerator. This will help them stay good longer and also prevents them from drying up. When refrigerated, herbs can last up to a week.

Wash Them Well

You never know what can be found on fresh produce which is purchased, and that includes herbs. Before eating them or using them in a recipe, be sure to wash them in order to remove any unpleasant things that might be lurking on them.

]]> Most cooks don’t think about the healing properties of the herbs and plants they grow in their gardens. Rather, they focus on what will taste good and the nutritional benefits. However, many delicious herbs also have a plethora of healing properties that many people don’t know about.

Cilantro

This is the herb that everyone either loves or hates. To some people, it’s like eating soap, and to others it adds a fine dash of flavor, especially in Mexican food. A lot of research has been done around why people love or hate it, and along the way it was discovered that cilantro actually aids in digestion. There’s also an association between cilantro and the removal of heavy metals.

Peppermint

Peppermint is commonly used in a tea form, as it is known to have a soothing effect, especially for digestion. However, it can be turned into a topical cream and rubbed on sore joints and muscles as well, providing a natural cooling sensation.

Thyme

Another common herb with great healing properties is thyme. Thyme is most effective when turned into an oil. It works as a natural antibacterial and antiseptic, which is good for small wounds when there are no store-bought alternatives around.
