Although in nature, there is a large number of aromatic plant species to use in the kitchen and give your dishes a special touch, the purpose of this publication is to introduce you to the most known and used ones.
An advantage is that most of the aromatic plant species can be found fresh or dehydrated in many open air markets, which makes it much easier to have them and enjoy their benefits.
▶ To enhance the flavor, generally fresh vegetable species are used due to their delicacy, among these the most commonly used are basil, cilantro, dill, fennel, bay leaf, oregano, parsley, rosemary, chives, a recommendation is not to freeze these aromatic vegetable species because they completely lose their aroma and flavor.
