Fines herbes have many health benefits. The parsley family (including cilantro and dill) features anticlotting substances that may decrease your risk of heart attack or stroke. Herbs are cancer fighters, too. Cilantro contains compounds that help prevent cell mutations, part of cancer development. Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, as well as mint, all contain limonene, which offers particular benefit against breast and liver cancer.
