Nature’s Hidden Defense — The Science of Antimicrobial Herbs

Описание: Nature’s Hidden Defense — The Science of Antimicrobial Herbs
Forget the hype—this mini-documentary reveals how everyday kitchen herbs (garlic, thyme, oregano, rosemary, sage, turmeric) evolved natural antimicrobial defenses, and what modern research is discovering about their active compounds. We break down the science in clear, kitchen-safe ways you can actually use at home.

What you’ll learn

How plants build “defense chemistry” to protect themselves from microbes

The key molecules: allicin (garlic), thymol (thyme), carvacrol (oregano), eugenol (clove), curcumin (turmeric)

Cooking vs. raw: what heat does to these compounds (stability & best practices)

Safety notes: culinary use vs. supplements, doses, interactions, and who should be cautious

Practical, kitchen-safe ideas to add herbs for flavor, freshness, and smarter food prep

Why this matters
Plants developed antimicrobial strategies millions of years before us. Understanding their chemistry helps you cook with more intention—keeping flavor high while using nature’s logic in the kitchen.
