Spices are the dried form of various seeds, roots, fruits, barks,
vegetables, and other plant substances primarily used for coloring, flavoring, and preserving the food.
They are found everywhere in the world and form an essential part of the culinary practices of all the cultures.
Their original use was as a flavoring agent,
which then demonstrated antimicrobial properties by keeping the food fresh for longer durations and
improving the health of those who ate them regularly.
One of the best things about spices is that when prepared, dried, and stored properly, they can last almost forever. Also, since they are so low in calories, being ground up in tiny forms, there is no danger of any side effects.In fact, they contain proteins and organic compounds that are necessary for overall health.
