HERBS


Herbs are a wonderful way to add flavor and taste to your food. It brings a new life to everything. I came across this wonderful website to help you grow your own herbs. You can then not only have them all year round, but you can grow them organically. You will save money and have healthier, fresher food.

Really useful information about growing eleven different herbs.


Fresh herbs to dry herb ratio

When cooking with fresh and dry herbs, there is a general rule when it comes to the ratio of fresh to dry. Because dried herbs are generally more potent and concentrated than fresh herbs, you'll need less -- typically three times the amount of fresh herbs as dry. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano, you need only 1 teaspoon of dried, since 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon.
