Herbs are the secret ingredient that can transform any dish from ordinary to unforgettable! From fresh basil’s sweet, peppery notes to the earthy depth of rosemary, each herb adds a unique touch to your meals. Plus, they’re packed with health benefits!

✨ Pro Tip: Add delicate herbs like basil, parsley, or cilantro toward the end of cooking for a fresh burst of flavor. For hearty herbs like thyme and rosemary, add them earlier to let their aroma infuse your dish.

Oregano! Oregano pairs well with other Mediterranean herbs like thyme, basil, and rosemary, making it perfect for Italian and Greek cuisine.

Fresh vs. Dried: Dried oregano has a more concentrated flavor, so if you’re substituting fresh oregano, you’ll need to use about three times as much.

Enhance Flavor: Add oregano towards the end of cooking to preserve its flavor, especially for slow-cooked dishes.

Did you know that honey never spoils? It’s actually one of the few foods that has indefinite shelf life 🍯🐝

Honey is also antibcaterial and rich in antioxidants - it’s been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat wounds, burns, and prevent infections!
