Catherine O’Brien on Mediterranean Herbs

Mediterranean herbs can liven up both your cooking and your herb garden. Herbs, in general, are versatile plants consumed for macronutrients, with savory or aromatic properties. They are used for flavoring and garnishing food, for medicinal purposes and for fragrances.

Mediterranean herbs and spices are a must-have in any edible garden. Originating from the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, these herbs, preferring warm climates and well-draining soils, give a wonderful, refreshing regional expression to your salads and meat dishes! Depending on the spices and herbs you choose, your dish can be Greek, Turkish, Italian, and more!

Learn which herbs grow well in the Houston area, hear about their culinary uses and take note of tips on growing, harvesting and preserving these world-wide popular Mediterranean herbs.
