An herb is the leafy and tender stem portion of aromatic plants, typically sold as small green bunches or clamshell packs. Flavors range from grassy and bright to peppery or floral, and the delicate leaves bruise to release a vivid perfume. Common uses include chopping into sauces, finishing soups and pastas, blending into dressings, or infusing oils.

Culinary herbs were cultivated in ancient Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian kitchens and gardens, then spread worldwide through trade and migration. Today they are grown in open fields, home gardens, and commercial greenhouses, supporting year-round supply in many regions.
