An earlier report pointed at the antioxidant power of spicy foods, yet another article lists out various healthy ways of incorporting spices and herbs in our everyday foods. They are as follows:
1. Herbs can be added to stews, marinades, salads and soups.
2. Turmeric can be added to stir-fries and lentils.
3. Paprika or black pepper can be used to pep-up bland foods.
4. Cinnamon can be used in cakes, cookies, oatmeal and even curries and stir-fries.
5. Rosemary and thyme can go great as a chicken rub.
6. Oregano works wonderfully with pasta, cheese sauce, bisques and chicken roast.
7. Ginger can be added to tea, curries, stir-fries and cookies.
8. Cloves go great in a bouquet-garni.
9. Cumin powder tastes great in curries.
10. Coriander leaves and mint leaves work wonderfully as a garnish to most of the curries.
