'A Tasty Scentuful Family'
I come across a living herb collection. It is interesting to see all of these herbs on the same spot, alive and full of scent, not dried in little bags. They are all welcomed guests in every kitchen. When properly used they give our food that special extra mile which makes the difference between 'good' and 'awesome'.
Mint tea is often my choice of the day. I've always loved it. Ever since I was a child it was one of my often-sought beverages. A few years back I've even planted a few of these in my backyard so I can cook it fresh.
Lavender oil is known as a natural mosquito repellent and has strong antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects when used on a wound. Lavender honey is a very specific one. It is also used in cake-making. I love to see the blossoming fields of lavender.
Origano is a very aromatic Mediterranean herb, best known for its widely-spread use as a spice put on a properly made pizza. It also goes well with all the food made with tomatoes. Very often it is used as a part of herb-mixture recipes.
Peppermint needs no special introduction. Tea, chewing gum aroma and drinks flavouring is its most known uses. It is less known that its oil is a natural pesticide and is often used in organic gardening.
Rosemary is also a Mediterranean plant. It was sacred to ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Its strong scented bitter taste goes well with all sorts of meat. In ancient time it was widely used in wedding ceremonies.
Sage is another Mediterranean herb of slight peppery taste used all over the western world. It also has antiseptic effects.
Hope you enjoyed me stopping to photograph a few plants which shaped the culinary history. Seeing them in the same spot gave me a strong urge to write a few sentences of each of them. I wish people care more about the plant world and use the benefits it can provide to us.
Enjoy your day! :-)
