I can clearly remember, a few years ago in my kitchen back home, a mini meltdown I had. “Everything tastes the same”. For a few months, I had only been using salt, pepper, and a generous amount of ground coriander to season my food. Sure, everything tasted great in the beginning, but after a while I was so sick of it.
One of the key lessons I’ve learned when it comes to sustainable, lifelong healthy eating is VARIETY. If you only use coriander to season your food, you’re going to get bored very quickly. Armed with a good herb and spice rack, you’ll never have to be bored. If you want to avoid any mini “it-all-tastes-the-same” meltdowns, take a look at these 10 Healthy Homemade Seasonings…
