Spices

Spices are aromatic seasonings derived from the bark, buds, fruit, roots, seeds or stems of various plants and trees.

Prized long before recorded history, spices have always been used to flavor foods. In addition, they have been used as medicine, in perfumes and fragrances and in ceremonies.

Once thought to only lend flavor to the dishes they accompanied, research now shows that spices are high in antioxidants and add a bevy of health promoting phytonutrients, as well.
