As garden month comes to a close this week, we are focusing on herbs. Herbs are different from spices in that they are the leaves of certain plants, while spices come from all other parts of a plant such as the seed, root, or stem. Both fresh and dried herbs contain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Many fresh herbs contain more vitamins, such as vitamins A, C, and K, compared to dried herbs. Try tossing herbs into your salad, sandwich, and pastas, or even in your desserts and drinks!
Be sure to stop by and visit our growers to pick up some starter plants that would be a great addition or start to your garden!
