About Indian Spices

A spice is a seed, fruit, root, bark, or other plant substance primarily used for flavoring or coloring food. Spices are distinguished from herbs, which are the leaves, flowers, or stems of plants used for flavoring or as a garnish. Spices and herbs were also used as a way to mask unpleasant tastes and odors of food, and later, to keep food fresh

India leads in the production and their exports of different spices and products in the last few years have shown an increasing trend. Spices are valued mainly for their distinctive color, flavors and aroma and thus are indispensable for culinary purposes and flavoring. Spices come with notable nutritional values and provide some major health benefits.
