Fresh herbs facts

Mint was originally used as a medicinal herb to treat stomach ache and chest pains, and it is commonly used in the form of tea as a home remedy to help alleviate stomach pain.
In Rome, Pliny recommended that a wreath of mint was a good thing for students to wear since it was thought to "exhilarate their minds". During the Middle Ages, powdered mint leaves were used to whiten teeth..

Fresh Herb and Zucchini Pie - recipe by Amy Casey

Fresh Herb and Zucchini Pie

Delicious recipe by Amy Casey

It does not matter how many times some recipes are made; they are always a welcome sight around the dinner table. Fresh Herb and Zucchini Pie is one such recipe that I know my family and friends love. So much so that I make 2 pies to ensure I have a leftover slice or two in the refrigerator for a late night snack or quick lunch. The pie screams of summer with verdant zucchini, parsley and oregano fresh from a farmers’ market or backyard garden and baked with creamy cheddar and mozzarella cheeses and fresh from the farm eggs.

When serving a simple entrée of grilled chicken, steak or fish, I like to include a flavor packed side dish that is the centerpiece of the meal. Fresh Herb and Zucchini Pie is one such accompaniment. As not to be tied to the kitchen, it can be made up to a day in advance and reheated in the oven or served at room temperature. The pie also makes for a filling yet light lunch when paired with a salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, diced cucumbers tossed with red wine vinaigrette.

Arugula (rucola, garden rocket) fresh herbs Israel wholesale supply

Arugula

(rucola)

Arugula (also known as rucola, garden rocket, roquette) has a peppery flavor that is exceptionally strong for a leafy green. It is frequently used in salads, often mixed with other greens in a mesclun. It is also used raw with pasta or meats in northern Italy and in western Slovenia (especially in the Slovenian Istria). In Italy, raw rocket is often added to pizzas just before the baking period ends or immediately afterwards, so that it will not wilt in the heat. It is also used cooked in Puglia, in Southern Italy, to make the pasta dish cavatiéddi, "in which large amounts of coarsely chopped rocket are added to pasta seasoned with a homemade reduced tomato sauce and pecorino", as well as in "many unpretentious recipes in which it is added, chopped, to sauces and cooked dishes" or in a sauce (made by frying it in olive oil and garlic) used a condiment for cold meats and fish. In the Slovenian Littoral, it is often combined with boiled potatoes, used in a soup,or served with the cheese burek, especially in the town of Koper. A sweet, peppery digestive alcohol called rucolino is made from arugula on the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples. This liqueur is a local specialty enjoyed in small quantities following a meal in the same way as a limoncello or grappa. In Brazil, where its use is widespread, arugula is eaten raw in salads. A popular combination is arugula mixed with mozzarella cheese (normally made out of buffalo milk) and sun-dried tomatoes. In Egypt the plant is commonly eaten raw as a side dish with many meals, with ful medames for breakfast, and regularly accompanies local seafood dishes. > more

MINT - the herb wholesale from Israel

Mint

The leaf, fresh or dried, is the culinary source of mint. Fresh mint is usually preferred over dried mint when storage of the mint is not a problem. The leaves have a warm, fresh, aromatic, sweet flavor with a cool aftertaste. Mint leaves are used in teas, beverages, jellies, syrups, candies, and ice creams. In Middle Eastern cuisine, mint is used on lamb dishes, while in British cuisine and American cuisine, mint sauce and mint jelly are used. Mint essential oil and menthol are extensively used as flavorings in breath fresheners, drinks, antiseptic mouth rinses, toothpaste, chewing gum, desserts, candies and mint chocolate.
