PipingRock Spices
Spices are classified as powders made from fruit, vegetables, roots, bark, berries, and buds that are used in cooking as flavoring elements, and also to add color to recipes and to preserve perishable ingredients. Many are used in every day cooking such as salt and pepper, while others such as chili powder and turmeric add an exotic touch to recipes.
Humans have valued spices for millennia; the famous Spice Trade was developed around 2000 B.C.E., when South Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East began trading cinnamon and black pepper along with herbs. It is said that the Egyptians were the ones who sparked worldwide spice trade, as they utilized a number of exotic spices in their embalming practices.
By 1000 B.C.E., entire cultures had incorporated spices into their daily lives, using them in practices and rituals for magic, wellness, religion, preservation, food, and more. As more and more of the world was discovered by world travelers, more and more spices were introduced, keeping the spice trade alive and very lucrative for countries well into the 19th century.
