Organic Herbs And Organic Spices

These are dried leaves, stems, roots, seeds, or fruits of plants used to add flavor to food. They are typically grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, as indicated by 'organic'. Herbs and spices have been used for centuries to enhance taste and aroma.

Manufacturers add organic herbs and spices to provide distinct flavors and aromas in a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in savory dishes, baked goods, sauces, and processed meats. Their use is primarily for sensory appeal, making food more palatable.

Herbs and spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. They are not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many spices and herbs, generally finding them safe for consumption. While some individual spices may have traditional medicinal uses, they are not regulated as drugs.
