World-class chef? Nope. Not me. In fact, I’m not even a good ordinary everyday cook. I do not have a degree in home economics, diet and nutrition, or anything similar or related. But, for personal reasons, I do a lot of research about herbs and spices. Not only do I want to know how to use the cooking ingredients to make food more flavorful and tasty, but I also want to learn about the health benefits and medicinal uses. Over the years, I’ve gathered quite a bit of information. Below is a round-up of my herbs and spices lists.

Waoo nice and great post sharing with us..
Cinnamon is one I use very often.
I love spices. Ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, black pepper and sometimes red pepper are almost mandatory for me.
That’s really useful information! In my country, all foods use a lot of herbs and spices. I myself often use various herbal ingredients to maintain health.
I have turmeric and ginger to be amazing. My mother never used these spices in her cooking. I am a little disappointed that none of the lists included my favorite herb, thyme.
Turmeric, ginger, galangal, and kaempferia galanga are roots that are often a staple of spices in my place. Thyme is not part of the original recipe in my place because it is not part of the original plant in my country.
A beautiful post. Thanks for ahere
