Answer:Plants that are referred to as "herbs" are not used as a good but are grown and consumed as a garnish, and for flavor enhancement, aroma and sometimes alleged healing properties.
Herbs have been used for cooking, medicine, aromatherapy, religious ceremonies, pest control and decoration since the beginning of civilization.
Plants that are referred to as “herbs” are not used as a food but are grown and consumed as a garnish, and for flavor enhancement, aroma and sometimes alleged healing properties.
The aromas, tastes and pharmaceutical properties associated with herbs result from a collection of chemicals
in each plant. These chemicals, known as essential or volatile oils, are synthesized in the plant during metabolism.
Depending on the particular plant, the essential oil may be concentrated in the flowers, seeds, leaves or roots, or throughout the entire plant. Selective herbal use in culinary dishes can enhance the flavor of the food greatly, replacing
table salt, resulting in a healthier alternative for many people.
GROWING HERBS
Herbs are so adaptable, anyone can grow them! From a windowsill to a garden plot to multiacre plots, employing basic horticultural plant-growing techniques usually results in success.
Like all vegetable plants, herbs need adequate light, water and soil nutrients to produce high-quality plants. While some herbs are “weedy,” with the apparent ability to grow “anywhere,” the home gardener or commercial producer should provide adequate soil preparation and pay attention to soil pH, temperature extremes, potential pests and other environmental variables.
Herbs can be grown via direct seeding, as is the case with dill, or set out as transplants from greenhouse sources, as is done with French tarragon. Our long daylight hours during early summer stimulate vigorous growth for annual, biennial and perennial herbs.
Some herbs that are perennial, such as rosemary, can be grown only as annuals in our northern region. The popular herb, parsley, is a biennial grown as an annual for its well-known tasty and aromatic foliage.
