Must have spices and herbs.

Whether you are learning to cook or been cooking for many years. You will find that recipes always call for herbs and spices. Both play a huge role in the flavor of the dish. When used properly a herb like rosemary along with butter can take a steak to a whole other level.

Herbs come from the leaves and green parts of the plant while spices come for the root, bark, stems and seeds from the bulb. Both have amazing health benefits and can be used to treat or prevent illness.

I have tried many recipes and found that there seems to be a few must have and can easily purchased at any grocery store. My husband and I prefer to grow our own herbs however due to where we live we cant grow fresh herbs year- round. So at the end of the growing season before the first frost, I start drying them and make spice jars for the family at Christmas time, the rest is left for us to use all winter long.

There is a huge list of spices and herbs out there however I had to narrow down to a few that I am sure you will see in most recipes that are easy to use and so versatile that you can make just about any dish with them.

Here are the top must have spices and herbs for your Kitchen:
