Someone definitely had a plan when spices were created, because they are powerful, and herbs too. Recently a study was published that found a correlation between the phenol content of certain herbs and spices and the ability to help the body fight ageing. Isn't that just awesome! The top ten are listed above.
That's what I call, "having your cake and eating it too".
A good deal of the food we eat would be pretty boring if we didn't have herbs and spices to "spice it all up". Think of some of the classic combinations we would miss without herbs and spices...
- Tomato and basil is the first one that comes to my mind.
- Chicken and curry
- Turkey stuffing and oregano
- Cinnamon toast
Boy, the list can go on forever. Can you come up with some favorites of your own?
