THYME
If you’re in a pinch for fresh thyme, use the ground variety. Just 1 teaspoon contains more than 20 per cent of your daily iron needs. • Try this: Thyme is the ultimate utility player, pairing well with roasted meat, vegetables, tomato sauce and scrambled eggs.
ROSEMARY
Japanese researchers say carnosic acid, found in rosemary, may help protect against Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. • Try this: Mix minced rosemary, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil to use as a marinade for meat or vegetables.
CORIANDER
Studies suggest that coriander seeds (the fruit of the coriander plant) could lead to treatments for diabetes and promote cardiovascular health. • Try this: Chop up tomatoes, an onion and a jalapeno, and mix with a heap of coriander for a versatile fresh salsa.
TARRAGON
Research suggests that tarragon extract may help in treating diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity, and possibly kill ulcer-causing bacteria. • Try this: Grill up an assortment of vegetables – onions, peppers, squash, asparagus – and sprinkle them with fresh goat cheese, tarragon, lemon juice and olive oil.
SAGE
Like rosemary, sage is thought to strengthen memory. The rosmarinic acid in this plant may promote liver health by protecting cells from oxidative damage. • Try this: For a quick pasta sauce, melt a pat of butter in a pan until it turns light brown, then add a handful of whole sage leaves. Toss with cheese or pumpkin ravioli.
OREGANO
Gram for gram, it has twice the cancer-fighting antioxidant activity of blueberries. • Try this: Add equal parts fresh parsley and oregano to a blender, and slowly drizzle in olive oil or canola oil as it spins. Strain and use the infused oil to top grilled fish or chicken, or as a dip for toasted bread.
