We always add these materials into food such as soup, curry, or sauce to enhance in terms of smell, taste and nutrition of food. Mint, rosemary, chives, parsley and cilantro are some herbs that can easily get from market. Among those herbs and spices, chives are my favorite. This herb may be used as a healthy garnish, and gives a mild, onion taste to salads, soup, vegetables, eggs and meat dishes. It help to reduce blood pressure and improve digestion, as well as its antibacterial effects.

Regarding my favourite herbs and spices, it would be cinnamon and curry leaves. I like cinnamon because of the fact that it can be used both in savoury and sweet food. It enhances the intensity of the food flavour all the while leaving its unique flavour behind. Even the aroma is to die for! And it can help lower blood sugar levels and reduce heart disease risk factors. As for curry leaves, it is simply because of the fact that I love eating curry so much (blame it on my family tradition of cooking chicken or beef curry everytime Hari Raya Aidilfitri comes knocking to visit) and it is even used in making butter chicken which gives the cuisine a tint of spiciness and enhances the flavour. It's also packed with health benefits such as protecting heart health and relieving pain and inflammation. ]]> 2018-03-26 13:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aizul83/uxmx5czk6ra3/wish/246074486 https://padlet.com/aizul83/uxmx5czk6ra3/wish/246086823 As we known herbs and spices are really famous among Asians.

There are many herbs and spices in Asian. As for me, my favourite herbs is parsley. Parsley is most popular used in salad and soup and as vegetables. The taste of parsley is light, a bit bitter and grassy in flavour. Parsley's flavour is delicate, and doesn't hold up well with heat or lengthy cooking, and is best adding at the very end of cooking. There are more than 30 varieties of parsley, though the most popular are curly parsley and flat-leaf, or Italian parsley. It has serrated, green leaves with a robust, earthy, green flavour. Research have found that there are some health benefit of parsley such as parsley can boots our immune system, helps to prevent cancer, protects against osteoporosis and improves bones health and many more. I really love parsley to be put in my soup. It will smell so fragrant and appetizing.
