       You’re in the kitchen cooking chicken. After taste-testing the dish, you find it too bland, so you reach for thesalt. But wait. Is salt the only seasoning that can add flavor to your meal? No! Herbs can be a great, healthysubstitute for salt.
      Why should you be concerned about your salt intake? The reason is because too much salt can lead to highblood pressure, and  it  can impact your cholesterol. So reduce your salt intake with herbs. They add flavor but don’traise your blood pressure. Since most people eat too much salt, the folks at Wellcat.com created the “More Herbs,Less Salt Day” on August 29th to encourage the eating of herbs. Late August is indeed an appropriate time tocelebrate this special day. The harvest of garden herbs is at a peak. There’s nothing better than fresh garden herbs inyour favorite recipes.
     But what exactly is an herb? It is the green or leafy part of a plant used to enhance the flavor of food. Somepopular herbs in western cooking include parsley, basil, rosemary and cilantro. Dried herbs are popular in Asia, soyou can find them at most supermarkets. On the other hand, the fresh herb selection is more limited. Since freshherbs have better flavor, try an international store to find some. Make sure the herbs look clean and have no bruises.Remember, fresh herbs taste best when used immediately, so don’t buy too much at one time. If you can’t use all ofyour herbs at once, dry the rest by hanging them upside down out of direct sunlight. You’ll know they’re dry whenthey easily crumble.
     How can you start using herbs? You can use cilantro and thyme to enhance the flavor of noodle dishes. For anItalian flare, sprinkle some oregano and basil on your next pork or chicken dish. Reducing your salt consumptiondoesn’t have to mean tasteless meals. Experiment with herbs to discover a whole new world of flavors!
