fresh herbs

Just-picked aromatic plants

Fresh herbs are leafy plant parts used for flavoring food, distinguished from dried herbs by being recently cut and still moist: The recipe calls for fresh herbs like basil and cilantro.

Fresh herbs deliver brighter, more delicate flavors than their dried counterparts and are typically added near the end of cooking to preserve their aromatic qualities.
