Herbs and Spices

• The use of herbs and spices dates back to early human life when meats were wrapped in leaves.
• Don’t be afraid to season your children’s food. Doing so may increase the likelihood that they will eat their vegetables.
• Spices and herbs are only slightly different. An herb is generally defined as the leaf of a plant when used in cooking, but any other part of the plant, often dried, can be a spice.
• Herbs and spices add flavor to food with little to no sugar, salt or calories.
