Grow Your Own Herbs

Fresh herbs are such a great way to add healthy nutrients to your diet. They’re plant-based foods that offer Vitamins, antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits. They also provide abundant flavor to any dish. I always have fresh herbs on my windowsill because I use them daily. Pinch off a few leaves and you can change the entire flavor of your dish into something amazing and you’ll get added health benefits.

The problem with fresh herbs is the price tag. They’re very expensive (around $2.80 for a small container) and most of the time you only use 1/4th of the package and end up throwing the rest away. Forget buying those tiny packages. Get some small pots, soil and either purchase the live plants (in soil) at the grocery store or head over to a gardening store like Home Depot and purchase some small starter plants.

You can grow fresh herbs anywhere so don’t worry if you don’t have a window in your kitchen. Herbs are pretty and smell wonderful so you can place them near any window in your home.
