List of culinary herbs and spices
-
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.
This list does not contain salt, which is a mineral, nor is it for fictional plants such as aglaophotis, or recreational drugs such as tobacco.
This list is not for plants used primarily as herbal teas or tisanes, nor for plant products that are purely medicinal, such as valerian.
