Spices Contains Celery

Spices are dried seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or vegetative substances used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for flavor or color. They are typically sourced from tropical regions and can be used whole, ground, or in part. Spices add distinct aromas and tastes to foods.

Manufacturers add spices to enhance the flavor and aroma of a wide variety of foods. They are used in savory dishes, baked goods, beverages, and processed foods like snacks, meats, and sauces. Common examples include pepper, cinnamon, cumin, and turmeric.

Spices are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated many spices and found them safe for consumption. While some spices contain beneficial compounds, they are typically consumed in amounts too small to have significant health effects. There are no widespread health controversies associated with the typical use of spices in food.
