Herbs are the plants used for food, flavoring, medicine, or fragrances for their savory or aromatic properties. Culinary use typically distinguishes them from spices. They refer to the leafy green or flowering parts of a plant (either fresh or dried), while spices are produced from other parts of the plant (usually dried), including seeds, berries, bark, roots, and fruits. In the botanical word “herb” is also used as a synonym of “herbaceous plant”.
