Herbs can take a dish from being plain to having pizzazz. Whether from your garden, window box, farmer’s market, or grocery store, fresh herbs add freshness, flavor, fragrance, and eye appeal to meals.
The Mediterranean diet is touted as one of the healthiest eating plans. Meals are plant-forward and based on whole foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, pulses (chickpeas, lentils, dry peas, and beans), whole grains, herbs, spices, and olive oil. The eating plan also includes moderate amounts of dairy foods (including yogurt), eggs, fish, and poultry. Small amounts of red meats and sweets can periodically be included, if you’d like.
