Flavor of nature

Despite almost every country having its own food culture, they all have one thing in common - adding herbs, spices, and forestry aromatics to foods makes them delicious! Spices and herbs are often used in many cuisines to add flavor to food, provide aromatic finishes, and taking advantage of their benefits complement dishes.

Some spices bring the flavor of the dish to the fore, while others balance the flavors. Herbs are typically used in stews, roasts, casseroles, soups with relatively long cooking time, marinades, and for pickling. Their flavor combines well with other ingredients. Some herbs are primarily used as a flavoring to enhance the taste of pork, lamb, beef, and sausages. The dried leaves can also be used to make herbal tea, which has many health benefits. Today, imagining life without spices is impossible. Spices enhance flavor, help preserve food, and prove to be incredibly healthy. They have always been sought-after products for their miraculous properties. Türkiye is home to 12,000 plant varieties and has incredible potential for aromatic herbs and spices. It is a leader in the export of dried oregano and laurel leaves in the World. At the crossroads of civilizations, Türkiye has long been a hub for trading spices. For millennia, it was the heart of the spice route with the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul functioning as one of the most famous spice hubs in the world. Turkish people use aromatic herbs and spices extensively in their cooking. Dried oregano, dried mint, laurel leaves, allspice, cinnamon, cumin, sumac, and pepper are among the most popular.

Facts

Essential oils obtained from leaves are mainly employed as a friction rub for topical problems. This rubbing oil is prepared by first diluting the raw oil in a carrier oil and it is then massaged on aching muscles and joints for a soothing effect. The essential oils contain disinfectant and anti-fungal properties, this prevents any microbial and fungal infection from affecting the skin. Recent studies have revealed that seeds might also have anti-carcinogenic properties. In laboratory tests, some herbs were shown to reduce the risk of stomach and liver tumors in animals.

The most crucial notes in perfumes are spices. Aromatic spices that appeal to different senses make perfumes more intense, just as they make them more permanent. Spices, the secret weapon of many popular perfumes, can create completely different fragrances when combined with different ingredients and are also the basis for those who want to make their own perfume.

Spices, herbs, and leaves can be used in salves and liniments for rheumatism, bruises, and skin problems and have been used as an herbal remedy for headaches. In general, extracts have antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties and may play a complementary role in the treatment of many diseases, or could suffice as a treatment by themselves.

As with many spices and flavorings, the fragrance of the herbs is more noticeable in cooked foods than the taste. When dried the fragrance is generally herbal and slightly floral so they can qualify as a natural sweetener.

Some essential non-wood products such as resin, resinous wood, storax of sweetgum, eucalyptus leaves, thyme, fruits of the Mount Tabor Oak, sumac, the mahaleb cherry, the terebinth tree, the stone pine, the bark of the Turkish pine, and the corms of snowdrop and other bulbous plants are found here.
