HEALTH BENEFITS:
Herbs contain not only vitamins and minerals, but also other substances that make them so important for the kitchen. Of particular interest for all gourmets are the essential oils through which the herbs unfold their strong aroma. With their intense flavour, herbs can partially replace salt in seasoning and thus contribute to a low-sodium diet.
