What it is
Spices are dried seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or vegetative substances primarily used for flavoring, coloring, or preserving food. They are derived from plants and can be used whole, ground, or in part. Examples include pepper, cinnamon, turmeric, and cumin.
Why it's used
Spices are added to foods to enhance flavor and aroma. They are used in a wide variety of products, including savory dishes, baked goods, sauces, marinades, and spice blends. Their intense flavors allow for use in small quantities.
Health notes
Spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. While many spices contain antioxidants and other beneficial compounds, they are typically consumed in small amounts, so their impact on health at typical intake levels is minimal. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various spices, generally confirming their safety for consumption. There are no widespread controversies regarding the health effects of spices when used as intended.
Allergen info
Spices are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Some individuals may have sensitivities or allergies to specific spices, but they are not considered a common allergen group.
