Herbs are an extremely important part of the Mediterranean Diet. In Greece, herbs grow wild pretty much everywhere. Hiking in the mountains, the smell of the wild herbs is almost intoxicating. When you see how many wild herbs there are, it’s not a surprise that the people from this area of the world have been using herbs in their cooking for thousands of years. Besides growing wild, people in the Mediterranean have potted herbs in their house and balconies. This makes it easy to quickly pick fresh healing herbs and incorporate them into your recipes. Depending on where you live you can easily grow fresh herbs used in Mediterranean cooking. Just simply picking some basil and mint, and adding them to a salad adds amazing freshness, flavor, and health benefits. Not only is it nice to have fresh herbs available during the warmer months, you can easily dry them to use in the winter. For example, at my house we dry mint and rosemary to use in a plethora of Mediterranean recipes during the winter. If you’re trying to eat the Mediterranean diet and you’ve never grown fresh herbs before, you’ll be amazed at how having some fresh herbs to pick will enhance your Mediterranean salads and cooking all year long.

What a sweet lady! I love instructional videos like these. Thank you.
She’s so wonderful. Beautiful smile.
One of my favorite people!
I love to see how herbs and herbal medicine are used in other cultures and regions. I have always had a fascination for herbal medicine which stems mostly from my Irish, Welsh and Scottish background. Chamomile is a favorite and I drink it as a tea daily along with some of the other herbs mentioned, like lemon verbena and sage. I've recently learned that sage can also be helpful in treating Alzheimer's disease. Thank you for sharing!
Really wish I just had a back yard densely packed with these plants
She made me smile… subscribed
Would love to see see them in the wild at harvest time.
Great info on uses,thanks!
You are welcome!
She is so cutes!! 😊loved her ! It would be helpful to list these herbs (and sources if you have them) for us who have trouble hearing. Thank you!
Beautiful lady Thank you ❤️🙏🏽❤️
Thank you for this very informative lesson on herbs from Crete. I purchase Greek Mountain Oregano directly from Greece and love how it tastes.
It really tastes quite different doesn't it?
Where do you order it from? A wholesaler of some sort?
Now we are talking.. love the video
Thank you!
Thank you that was very interesting and helpful, thank you for teaching me about herbs!
many thanks.. Great learning bless
I have a question on that pine herb...what exactly is that? I tried searching but keep coming up with pine needle tea which does not look anything like what she's holding. Thanks!
So nice to watch!
Thank you!
She is so wonderful. I really enjoyed the video. Would you please give scientific names.
Does dried herbs have same medicinal properties like if I use dried oregano in my foods instead of fresh?
I would presume the Mediterranean wild oregano would but that is a different herb than what we have here in the US.
