SINCE the 1500s, people of France developed a lifestyle when it comes to cooking. In the south, their lifestyle was called French Mediterranean Diet. Actually, French Mediterranean Diet does not exist in France. It exists in the imagination of people living outside France.
Bring up your chair, and put on your table those unknown-to-many healthful benefits of herbs that people in the land of Louis Pasteur begun implementing centuries ago.
The mastermind behind nature gave us a gift of foods He wisely designed. He intended for our bodies to remain healthful throughout a lengthy life. French people excelled at understanding that gift. A long time ago, they realized that herbs may be used in meals to achieve two vital roles. Firstly, herbs do possess meaningful health-related benefits. Secondly, herbs enhance with taste and aroma each bite in a well-thought-out recipe.
Pay attention to what comes next.
The leaves in herbs are the ones containing certain oils. When we break up the leaves into small pieces, those oils are set free from their confinement, they mix, and they are exposed to air. Such combination almost miraculously provides taste and aroma to food as well as the well-known healthful benefits of herbs. It is now vital to understand that the taste, aroma, and benefits of herbs ~as a mastermind also does in other processes in nature~ gradually deteriorate into worthless compounds within a short period of time.
We may then rightfully construe that one thing French people discovered
long time ago is that all herbs' leaves must be cut into small pieces right
before they are used in a meal as opposed to break them up days or
weeks ahead of time.
Follow the link below to an article which clearly explains in plain English how to correctly work with herbs that give us highly advantageous benefits in the same manner French people begun to implement a long time ago. Those folks are known for their lengthy and healthy lives, exquisite French Cuisine, and for a French Mediterranean Diet which exists only in the imagination of people living outside France.
When it comes to food and meals, the people of the land of Louis Pasteur developed a lifestyle ~rather than a diet~ and excelled at it. Part of the success is how well they can understand a precious gift given to us: the undeniable benefits of herbs.
