What are seasonings/spices?
Seasonings are specific parts of selected plants that give unrivalled flavour to your cooking. Seasonings that come from the leaves of a plant, such as thyme, rosemary, or coriander are known as herbs. Seasonings that are made from other parts of a plant, such as seeds, berries, root, or bark, are known as spices. There are still other seasonings that have generic names all of their own: chillies and peppercorns for example.
