A herb is a plant grown for culinary,
medicinal, or in some cases even of spiritual value. The green
leafy part of the plant is typically used. General usages
differs between culinary herbs and medicinal herbs. A
medicinal herb may be a shrub or other woody plant, whereas a
culinary herb is a non woody plant. By contrast, spices are
the seeds, berries, bark, root or other parts of the plant, even
leaves in some case. Although any of these, as well as any
edible fruits or vegetables, may be considered "herbs" in medicinal
or spiritual use. Culinary herbs are distinguished from
vegetables in that they are used in small amounts and provide
flavour rather than substance to food.
