Herbes De Provence - Seed Kit Gift Box

This seed kit contains 7 classic French kitchen herbs of the herb mixture 'Herbs of Provence'

• Oregano (Origanum Vulgare)
  Oregano is one of the classic Italian kitchen herbs and its leafs are essential for seasoning pizza and plenty other iconic Mediterranean dishes. It is also an important plant for bees and insects, which feed off its nectar.
• Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris)
  The characteristic flavour of thyme works really well for seasoning stews, soups, fish and meat dishes. Prepared as a tea infusion, it also helps to relieve diseases of the respiratory tract.
• Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis)
  Rosemary is probably among the most important Mediterranean kitchen herbs and tastes delightful in combination with potatoes, red meat and courgettes. It is also a uniquely scented old medicinal plant, which can act as a natural pesticide.
• Sweet Marjoram (Origanum Majorana)
  Most people are familiar with the taste of marjoram because it is the key herb for seasoning sausages, with the ‘Thuringian bratwurst’ being the most famous example.
• Sweet Basil 'Genovese' (Ocimum Basilicum)
  ‘Genovese’ is the classic, Italian basil variety, with large, slightly tangy tasting leaves, which put pesto on the culinary world map. It is also ideal for infusing Caprese salads.
• Tarragon (Artemisia Dracunculus)
  Tarragon is an exquisitely tasting kitchen herb, originating from Siberia, which compliments fish-, and poultry dishes particularly well.
• Summer Savory (Satureja Hortensis)
  Summer savory is an annual herb, which harmonises very well with the gentle flavour of green beans. However, it is also a very yummy seasoning for fish, vegetables, quark, and herbal butter
