What are plants and herbs? Did you check it at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lily-plant-identification/id1570145257? While you may be able to identify the ornamental flowers and vegetables that grow in your garden, herbs are a little more difficult to classify. Learn what grass is...well, grass!
What are medicinal plants?
Simply put, herbs are plants used in cooking, fragrances, medicines, dyes, and cosmetics. In popular culture, most people think of herbs as something they grow in grocery stores or find to flavor food. However, in herbal medicine, medicinal plants are all plants used for medicinal or therapeutic purposes.
The more complicated answer is...
There are actually many different types of plants. While some people think of dandelion as a weed, dandelion is a highly nutritious superfood and beneficial skin care product. Similarly, roses are beautiful perennial houseplants. But while it's been used for centuries to flavor dishes and perfumes, the botanical rosehip is another superfood. . Added oat straw as an herb ingredient to the Quick Return Compost Booster recipe. When the editor returned the book with a note, it said oat straw was a plant, not grass. I had to go back and tell them it was for the definition of herbal medicine! Since oat extract is used to reduce stress and anxiety, its medicinal properties belong to the herbal classification. In general, the definition of medicinal plants is controversial. Everything is in the eye of the beholder!
Herbs vs. Spices
Most people are confused about the difference between herbs and spices. After all, spices and herbs are used for both culinary and medicinal purposes! It all depends on which part of the plant is used. Spices are usually made from plant roots, bark, fruits, and sometimes seeds.
At the same time, herbs usually use the stems, leaves, flowers, and sometimes the seeds or seed pods of plants.
Sometimes plants can be both grasses and grasses. For example, coriander (also called Chinese parsley) is an herb if you use fresh green leaves, but if you use the seeds it becomes a spice called coriander.
Annuals and Perennials
You can have both annuals and perennials. Perennials die off at the end of the growing season but grow back from the same roots in the spring. Annuals have only one growing season and die off after the first frost. New plants and seeds should be grown at the beginning of each year.
Understanding the Term Herbaceous
Another thing that confuses new gardeners is the term herbaceous. This term is completely separate from the classification of plants as weeds and should not be confused. Herbaceous plants are woody plants. In winter, the plant dies completely, but the roots remain underground and reappear the following year. Peonies are a good example of this.
