Herb in the food context refers to the aromatic leaves or stems of certain plants used to flavour, garnish, or enhance the taste and presentation of dishes. Unlike spices, which typically come from seeds, roots, or bark, herbs are derived from the leafy green parts of plants. They are used fresh or dried and are integral to many cuisines worldwide.
