Information about the ingredients
The difference between herbs and spices is given by their look: spices come from different parts of a plant (the flowers, buds, rhizomes, roots, bark, seeds etc.) and are characterised by their high percentage of aromatics which are mainly due to essential oils and resinous substances; the so called aromatic herbs, instead, are cultivated or uncultivated species used mainly for their leaves.
