WHAT
ARE
HERBS?
And how are they different from spices?
In the culinary arts, the word "herb" refers to any green or leafy
part of a plant used for seasoning and flavoring a recipe, but not
used as the main ingredient. What exactly does this mean?
So What Exactly Is an Herb?
Herbs are plants with fragrant or aromatic properties. Herbs can
be used to flavor food, included in fragrances, and even a part
of natural medicines.
The Difference Between Herbs and Spices
The essential difference between herbs and spices lies with what part
of the plant they originate from. An herb is a leaf or other green
plant of the plant. Any other element of the plant would be considered
a spice—including dried bark, the roots, a berry, seeds, twigs, or
other plant matter that is used to season or flavor a dish.

plants to learn about, not to mention herbal history, how the body
works, various global herbal systems and the tools they use, how
to assess and match herbs to a condition and a person, and more.
And then, there’s the terminology that is used in herbalism.
