“Food must be medicine, and medicine must be food,” said Hippocrates. We remember this as it applies to meat, vegetables and fruits. But we don’t think about the fact that most of the spices in the kitchen are medicinal herbs. A significant part of them can be bought at the pharmacy. Like any medicine, herbs can heal, but they can also harm. How to make the best choice? This requires encyclopedic knowledge, and even better - this book in the kitchen cabinet! Almost all the herbs and spices that we use in cooking - from pepper to parsley - are medicinal. They not only improve the taste of dishes, but also make us healthier! But each seasoning is valuable for its beneficial properties. Therefore, you need to add spices to your food as varied as possible! And don’t forget that every spice has its own contraindications - this is not as scary as it might seem. Just choose others with the same benefits for yourself - and be healthy!
