Herbes de Provence — MUNCH
Munch or Dump rates Herbes de Provence by Kania MUNCH — score 100/90.
Six dried herbs and absolutely nothing else — no salt, no anti-caking agents, no 'flavoring'. The only fib is geographic: 'Herbes de Provence' is a recipe name, and these herbs almost certainly never saw Provence. The plants don't care, and neither should your body.
Why this verdict
- 100% dried herbs: savory, rosemary, oregano, marjoram, basil, thyme — every ingredient is a named whole plant
- Zero additives — no salt, sugar, fillers, anti-caking agents, or flavorings, which is not a given in the spice aisle
- Six ingredients, all minimally processed (just dried) — textbook clean-list signal
- Herbs contribute polyphenols and antioxidants, modest at seasoning doses but strictly positive
- Replaces salt and sauces in cooking — a net win for whatever dish it lands on
