List of culinary herbs and spices
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Revisions and sourced additions are welcome.
This is a list of culinary herbs and spices. Specifically these are food or drink additives of mostly botanical origin used in nutritionally insignificant quantities for flavoring or coloring. As such, this list does not contain salt, which is a mineral, herbs or spices that are purely medicinal such as valerian, fictional plants such as aglaophotis, or recreational drugs such as marijuana. For medicinal herbs see list of medicinal herbs.
See the list of spice mixtures below for common spice blends.
