What herbs and spices do you use to make healthy food taste good?

Question

I like to eat more healthy foods, grains, beans, salads and meats too. What is your secret to making appetizing foods with great flavor?

Answer 1

Three words, fresh, fresh, fresh. Basil, dill, thyme, oregano, parsley, cilantro and garlic are all available in most grocery stores. They may cost a little more and take a little bit of knife work; but, the benefits of flavor far outweigh the ammount of work involved. Most work best in hot foods, when added to the end of a cooking process rather than at the beginning.

Answer 2

I do my own seasoning at home. And two of the herbs I use the most is called ciliantro and recao. They make my food taste delicious. They sell the seasoning done allready at the supermarket in the goya product area it's called sofrito or recao, but I rather do it myself. That way I know what's going into my food. Hi my friend Take care
