Mix Herbs 50g

Dried herbs, as the name suggests are herbs that have been cleaned, sorted and dried in the sun. Dried herbs are more convenient and less expensive than fresh ones. However, one must remember that most herbs take on a different flavour after drying. Also, they have a more concentrated flavour than fresh herbs – 1 tsp dried herbs is equivalent to 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs.

Apart from individual dried herbs, a variety of herb mixes are also readily available in the market. These offer a quick and convenient way of adding several flavours to a recipe at one go. A mix of marjoram, sage, thyme, basil, mint and savoury is ideal for seasoning.
