The Antioxidant Values of Herbs

read more articles on herbs

Thanks to The Journal of Nutrition, here are the top seven herbs often used in cooking in terms of their antioxidant values:

1. Oregano. 2. Lemon Balm. 3. Sage. 4. Thyme. 5. Peppermint. 6. Sweet Marjoram 7. Hyslop.

Why only seven? Because others, while not devoid of helpful properties, fall off sharply in their antioxidant values.

Calculated also were so-called "commercial herbs," with the top two being far richer than the top two cooking herbs:

1. Clove. 2. Allspice. 3. Cinnamon. 4. Rosemary*. 5. Thyme again, 6. Marjoram and 7. Saffron.

*We have noted some negative aspects lately in research on Rosemary.
