Common core herbs are basil, thyme, marjoram, savory, and rosemary. Some blends also include lavender.
Check the product’s ingredient list and label. Blends that include lavender will list “lavender” (sometimes “blue lavender”) among ingredients; other listings may explicitly state “no lavender” or note exclusions such as no tarragon.
Product listings show labels such as Certified Kosher (OU), non-GMO, No MSG, Halal, Kosher & Vegan, and USDA Organic.
Descriptions recommend adding the mix before or during cooking to infuse flavor—mix it with oil, sprinkle a pinch early in the pan/pot or on the barbecue—and some listings also suggest adding a bit after cooking as a finishing touch.
Listings show Herbes de Provence sold as cut herbs, ground powders, and flakes. Some products are labeled as cooking ingredients, while others are marketed as ready-to-use blends.
It’s used to season grilled fish and meats, vegetable stews, dips, dressings, soups, salads, sides, and marinades. You can sprinkle it on finished dishes or add it early in cooking to infuse flavor.
Beyond basil, thyme, marjoram, savory, and rosemary, some mixes also include fennel seed, sage, tarragon, and lavender.
