Inscription. Herbs have been used to enhance the flavor of food since ancient times, and culinary usage continues to be the primary reason for the popularity of herbs. Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme are only a few of the wonderful herbs that make meals more flavorful and exciting. Herbs also may be the primary ingredient in certain dishes, such as basil in pesto, or strongly associated with a specific food, as rosemary and mint are with lamb.
