Other organic spices are a broad category that includes a variety of dried plant parts like seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or leaves, grown using organic farming methods. These spices are used to add flavor and aroma to foods. They are processed through drying and often grinding.
Why it's used

Health notes
Other organic spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They are typically consumed in small amounts and are not associated with significant health risks at these levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many individual spices, but this category as a whole does not have a specific regulatory evaluation. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical dietary intake.

Other organic spices are not among the nine major allergens defined by the FDA. They do not contain gluten unless cross-contaminated during processing.
