Description:
Spices are non-leafy parts (e.g. bud, fruit, seed, bark, rhizome, and bulb) of plants used as a flavoring or seasoning, although many can also be used as an herbal medicine. A closely related term, ‘herb’, is used to distinguish plant parts finding the same uses but derived from leafy or soft flowering parts. The two terms may be used for the same plants in which the fresh leaves are used as herbs, while other dried parts are used as spices, e.g. coriander, dill.
Spices are no longer regarded as wonders of medicine, but they still play an important part in the manufacture of many cosmetics and perfumes and are grown commercially for their coloring and preservative properties. Nutmeg and mace are no longer the main crops of the Moluccas, but instead are grown on a large scale on the West Indian island of Grenada. Cloves, however, still come from Madagascar and Zanzibar-names that are still evocative and romantic and hint strongly of spices.
Spices can be aromatic or pungent in flavors and peppery or slightly bitter in taste. In order to keep their fragrance and flavor intact, they are generally added in the cooking recipes at the last moments since, prolonged cooking results in evaporation of essential oils.
Spices are being used in the preparation of season soups, barbecue sauces, pickling and as a main ingredient in a variety of curry powders. Spices along with some seasonal herbs are being used to enhance the flavor and taste of vegetable, chicken, fish and meat dishes.
