Buy Spices, Seasonings and Herbs Online

Spices, herbs and food seasonings tend to be lumped together in our minds when thinking of food preparation; however each group contains some unique differences.

Spices are used in small quantities to enhance flavor, hide unwanted flavors, or add color to a dish. They are usually thought to be a root, seed, dried fruit or bark from a plant as opposed to herbs that tend to be the softer portions of the plant. Some great spices to add to applesauce are Ground Cinnamon and Ground Allspice. If you want to go all out apple, make an apple pie using our Apple Pie Spice for a great tasting pie.

Herbs are usually the green, leafy parts of a plant that are used as flavoring or garnish. Basil, Thyme, and Oregano are three very popular herbs for Italian cuisine. Sage and Cilantro have grown in popularity over the past several years. Sage is now added to teas, sausage, and casseroles; and Cilantro is a favorite in salsa and Mexican dishes.

Food seasoning is a specific combination of spices, herbs, or both to add a complete, full bodied flavoring to create a distinctive taste.
