Herb
or Spice?
What
is the difference between an herb and a spice?
Herbs and spices are both from plants and are
used in very small amounts to flavour food.
"Herb"
refers to a low-growing plant with fleshy parts
that are used in brewing tea, dying food,
textiles and yarn, for perfuming the air and as
medicines.
"Spice"
refers to seasonings made from dried bark or
seed. Spices generally originate in the Far East
and tropical countries. For example, India is
the source of origin cinnamon and nutmeg, and
China is the source of ginger. |
