Do you know the secret of spices?
Rich in flavour, many spices also naturally contain antioxidants; in fact:
- 1 tsp McCormick Cinnamon contains as many antioxidants as ½ cup of blueberries or 1 cup of pomegranate juice
- 1 tsp McCormick Oregano contains as many antioxidants as 1 cup of red grapes
- 1 tsp McCormick Thyme contains about the same amount of antioxidants as 1 carrot or ½ cup of tomatoes
McCormick Gourmet has a collection of herbs and spices to help you maximize flavour and bring extra antioxidants to your everyday meals.
