Herbs and spices have caused wars, saved lives, and deodorized the world?s smelliest spaces. Herbs are even to thank for Columbus?s initial visit to America; one of the missions of the voyage was a search for new trade routes to make European access to rare herbs and spices more convenient. Highly valued for their uses in cooking, medicine, and for aides in preservation, each herb image in this calendar is accompanied by interesting herb fact or figure. Enjoy the spice of life all 12 months of the year.
