Parsley tastes a little like celery. The tops of parsley are eaten fresh to get rid of bad breath.
Saffron is one of the most expensive herbs to use. It is a yellow powder that comes from the saffron flower. It is a mild herb people like to use on rice.
Rosemary is a strong herb used in pasta sauces, lamb and with potatoes.
Rosemary tastes like sweet mustard with a minty taste, too. Weird, huh? But it’s not bad.
Because herbs have such strong smells and tastes, people who lived a long time ago thought some herbs had magical powers.
