Power up your salad! Just add marjoram and increase its antioxidant prowess by 200%!

Amp up the antioxidant power of your salad by adding fresh-cut herbs. A study in the British Journal of Nutrition found a spoonful of marjoram boosts salads’ cancer-fighting goodness by 200%. ALL herbs are POTENT sources of antioxidant activity though, and add flavor without fat.

A study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found a tablespoon of oregano has as much antioxidant muscle as an apple. Antioxidants help keep free radicals from damaging healthy cells. Free radical damage can contribute to tissue damage and diseases like heart disease and cancer. Cultivating a small herb garden is an economical way to enjoy fresh herbs all summer long!
