Fat-Free Treats from Nature
Fresh herbs and spices come packed with bright, clean tastes. These can boost enjoyment of food without causing weight gain or heart-damaging spikes in blood sugar, which may put at risk your efforts to better control PCOS.
Herbs like basil, for example, can be hard to find at different times of the year. So when you do track down your favorites, deep freeze them in plastic freezer bags to enjoy them all year round. Press out the air before sealing. When the herbs are needed, squeeze the bag to crumble the frozen leaves.
To release the essential oils and flavors of dried herbs, crush them between your fingers as you add them to soups, stews, sauces and casseroles
If substituting dried herbs for fresh, reduce the quantity by a third e.g. instead of one tablespoon of fresh oregano, use one teaspoon of the dried variety.
