This science explains that spices provide maximum digestibility to the food that we eat.

Scientific research now is also proving these facts that beyond doubt the use of herbs like Ginger, Garlic, cilantro and spices like Cumin, Black pepper, Cinnamon, Rosemary and Turmeric greatly improve your metabolism and also act as antioxidants as well as anti-carcinogenic.
