What it is
Herbs are aromatic plant leaves, flowers, seeds, or roots used for flavoring or as a garnish. They can be used fresh or dried. The term 'organic' means they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, following specific agricultural standards.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic herbs to add natural flavor and aroma to a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in seasoning mixes, marinades, cheeses, and grain products, enhancing the taste profile of the final product.
Health notes
Herbs are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are a source of various micronutrients and antioxidants. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many herbs and spices for safety. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to specific herbs.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Some herbs may be processed in facilities that handle allergens, so cross-contamination is a possibility for highly sensitive individuals.
