The category “spices” includes plants that are not grown for their food value but rather are used in small amounts as a food additive to add flavor or color. Some spices are used as food preservatives. While “herbs” are green plant parts, “spices” are dried seeds, fruits, root or bark. Examples of spices are ginger, chili powder, black pepper and cinnamon.
