Did you know dried herbs have high antioxidant levels? Although some vitamins and minerals are lost during the drying process, because dried herbs are used in a more concentrated form, you usually receive the same nutrients as you would get with fresh herbs. When you don’t have fresh herbs available, its good to know that dried herbs have quite a lot to offer nutritionally.
