For example in Ancient Greece parsley was used as a tonic which aided in curing multiple stomach conditions. Herbs were also prized in ancient times for the same desirable traits that they are used for in present day settings. Herbs are considered by definition to be any plant that has beneficial properties when used in culinary dishes, for curing ailments, fragrance, and/or dyes. In reality their are so many beneficial plants that the word herb is almost a default in the plant world. There are annual herbs (Ex.basil), perennial herbs (Ex. oregano), and biennial herbs (Ex. parsley). Though in most cases the flowers or seeds are not used, so harvesting can be accomplished within the first growing season. Herbs are a highly nutritious addition to meals and contain an abundance of valuable vitamins and minerals.
