What it is
Natural spices are derived from the dried seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or vegetative parts of plants. They are used to add flavor and aroma to foods. Spices can be used whole, ground, or in extracts.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add natural spices to enhance the taste and smell of a wide variety of foods. They are commonly found in savory dishes, baked goods, sauces, and seasonings. Spices can also add color to food products.
Health notes
Natural spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many spices and their components. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience digestive upset from certain spices. Evidence for specific health benefits or risks from typical spice consumption is often limited or mixed.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. However, some spices can be cross-contaminated with major allergens during processing. Sesame is a major allergen, and while not a spice itself, seeds like sesame are often used in spice blends.
