Herbs worth having in your kitchen include basil, oregano, cinnamon, mint, coriander and marjoram. Adding fresh, aromatic herbs to dishes not only adds variety to their taste, but also has a positive effect on the body's digestive processes.
Basil - fresh, aromatic notes in your kitchen!
Why is it important to have basil in your kitchen? Primarily because of its refreshing, crisp aroma - making dishes light and fresh. Using basil is especially useful for those who love Italian cuisine - because it is most often used to season dishes such as pizza, pasta casseroles and lasagne. The way to please the taste buds of your household and guests? Combine refreshing basil with fresh tomatoes!
Oregano - a strong flavour that surprises!
Oregano is characterised by its strong, slightly bitter flavour - and nowadays it is hard to imagine Mediterranean dishes without it. Oregano is particularly suitable for seasoning a variety of meats - such as pork, veal or lamb - as well as casseroles and pizzas. It is also an important part of dishes such as cureo, meatballs or gyros. Thanks to its pungent, slightly bitter aroma - it makes even the simplest dish full of distinctive flavours that you want to return to.
Cinnamon - sweetness and sharpness in one spice!
Cinnamon is a combination of sweetness and distinctive, spicy notes - so it can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. When added to cakes, biscuits and desserts, cinnamon adds an intense aroma and when added to savoury dishes (especially those based on red meat and fish), it makes them surprising to our taste buds! Although the use of cinnamon is usually associated primarily with apples, pears and plums - it is with its help that we can experiment in the kitchen, thus opening up new culinary possibilities!
