More detail

Culinary use covers herbs as ingredients in dishes, drinks, or spice mixes. This overview does not evaluate medicinal effects — only reminds you about species intent, allergies, and heat treatment where needed (e.g. some fruits or plant parts).

Combining with alcohol, sugar, or long cooking changes outcomes; verify culinary sources.
