Differences Between Spices and Herbs

For the most part, chefs use the terms "spices and herbs" interchangeably, but there are differences. The American Spice Company sells herbs made from both fresh and dried leaves, while many of our spices curate from seeds, bark, fruit, flowers, and roots. Use herbs in cooking, aromatherapy, medicines, and cosmetics. Spices are the dried parts of plants that give off amazing aromas. Step into our Great American Spice store and the first comment you’ll make is, "Wow. I’m in spice heaven!"
