A(n) herb is a plant that is valued for flavor, scent, or other qualities.[1] Herbs are used in cooking, as medicines, and for spiritual purposes.
In American English the pronunciation of "herb" varies by individual, with the initial "h" either silent or pronounced (/ˈɝːb/ or /hˈɝːb/) on no noticeable regional or socioeconomic basis, but in British English the sounded "h" predominates: /ˈhɜːb/ (see American and British English pronunciation differences).
