Herbs are just flavoring from plants. No reason a root can’t be a herb

Totally wrong, herbs typically refer to leafy greens that have aromatic properties, while things like roots are considered to be more of a spice

If you want to put them all under a single blanket category then you would call them “aromatics”

Is cinnamon an herb?

[Anonymous No.15427225]

No. Spices and herbs are different but both come from plants. Spices are spicy or hot and herbs are not.

So star anise and juniper berries are spicy or hot?
Lol herbs are not categorized by flavor profile op, weather or not something is an herb or spice depends on what part of the plant is used. If it is used as a leafy green it is an herb, if it is dried or a non-leafy plant like a root then it is a spice

Idk why you’re fighting us on this, you can literally look it up and see for yourself that you are wrong on this one

Those are spices because they have “spicy” flavors. If they had “cool” flavors they would be herbs

I posit that spices are dried aromatics while herbs are leafy aromatics. Spices aren't necessarily spicy

Are dried herbs spices?

[Anonymous No.15429347]

No they’re dry herbs. But some spices are herbs. Like coriander seed is an herb. Or cardamom is a herb too.

the french also say "erbs"

[Anonymous No.15430149]

I think thyme is the most flexible herb, can throw it on meat, drop it in potatoes, put it on anything, and there's not much it really clashes with. And the plants are hardy as fuck.
Also like tarragon, nice if you want more mild subtle flavours.
Sage is close to thyme, but I think it's more likely to clash.
Fave spices are cardamom, mustard seed and cumin.

>Most Americans pronounce herb as though the h does not exist; based on how we say it, it could very well be spelled erb. In British English, however, it's typically pronounced like it's short for the name Herbert. Such was not always the case: the Oxford English Dictionary tells us that the h wasn't pronounced until the 19th century, which means that herb arrived on American shores without an audible h.
> Cinnamon is a powdered spice that can be made from the bark of a few different trees that fall under the genus Cinnamomum. Spices like cinnamon are made from the aromatic seeds, bark, flowers, and roots of plants that have been dried and crushed. Oregano, however, is an herb derived from the herbaceous oregano plant. Herbs are leaves, and although most come from herbaceous plants (plants that lack woody stems), a few do come from woody plants, such as bay leaf.

>>15427225
spices and herbs can come from the same plant; an herb indeed comes from the leafy herbaceous part and a spice would come from any other part of the plant: root, stem, seed, fruit, flower or bark.

>western centric view of herbs only being leaves
I’m guessing you’re a non-native English speaker and you don’t know what the definition of “aromatics” are the literal English definition of herbs imply that they must be leafy. But any plant, root, bark, spice, etc that add flavor such as thyme, cinnamon, ginger, Angelica root, star anise, black pepper, rosemary, etc. are all considered “aromatics”, “herbs” specifically refer to leafy aromatics.

You shouldn’t just assume that something is “western-centric” just because it’s different from what you think. Obviously you just don’t know the proper English word for aromatics, and you are confused thinking that herbs actually means aromatics.
And btw if on the off chance that you are somehow a native English speaker than you are just plain dumb for not knowing what aromatics are. But if you are non-native then you kind of get a pass on this one since the difference between aromatics and herbs is small and it’s easy to confuse the two, especially since aromatics is an obscure word

Jesus fucking Christ are you still the same guy persisting that any aromatic is a fucking herb, you must be Italian or French since you are clearly not an English speaker and you have so much pride that you can’t admit you are fucking wrong. Literally multiple definitions and solid definitions have been posted itt that prove that you’re wrong and you are still fucking trying.
Even the definition you responded to proves you wrong and you’re still fucking reaching for the stars trying to find a loophole in a very clear definition. Just admit that you meant to say aromatics instead of herbs and stop fucking embarrassing yourself, it’s like the other guy said there’s nothing wrong with confusing the two terms
