Home›Dishes›Main Ingredient›SpiceIngredientSpiceGeneric ingredientReference and ClassificationVerifiedA spice is a seed, fruit, root, bark or other plant substance primarily used for flavouring or colouring food, distinguished from herbs (the leaves, flowers or stems of plants used similarly); spices can be used fresh, whole, dried, ground or extracted, and India contributes roughly three quarters of global spice production. This entity is the generic sense of the ingredient, used when a dish's own infobox names "spice" or "spices" without stating which one, distinct from a named specific spice already carried as its own entity in this atlas.SpiceConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)SpiceFilter Results19 entriesDish FamilyAllAsian and Middle Eastern Sandwiches (2)European Noodles and Dumplings (1)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)European Soups (1)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Latin American and Caribbean Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Latin American and Caribbean Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Rice and Grain Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Soups (1)Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)South Asian Breads and Pastries (2)South Asian Rice and Grain Dishes (1)South Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)South Asian Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Southeast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Southeast Asian Salads (1)Sub-Saharan African Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)CuisineAllAfghan Cuisine (1)Burmese Cuisine (1)Caribbean Cuisine (3)Ethiopian Cuisine (2)French Cuisine (1)Greek Cuisine (1)Hungarian Cuisine (1)Indian Cuisine (3)Indonesian Cuisine (4)Kashmiri Cuisine (2)Kenyan Cuisine (2)Malaysian Cuisine (2)Middle Eastern Cuisine (2)Pakistani Cuisine (2)Persian Cuisine (1)Portuguese Cuisine (1)South African Cuisine (1)Era (Origin Period)All1200 (1)1726 (1)1850 (1)1966 (1)TraditionAllBread Baking (1)Mezze (1)Street Food Culture (6)Format/TypeAllAsian and Middle Eastern Sandwiches (2)European Noodles and Dumplings (1)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)European Soups (1)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Latin American and Caribbean Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Latin American and Caribbean Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Rice and Grain Dishes (1)Middle Eastern and North African Soups (1)Middle Eastern and North African Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)South Asian Breads and Pastries (2)South Asian Rice and Grain Dishes (1)South Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)South Asian Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Southeast Asian Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)Southeast Asian Salads (1)Sub-Saharan African Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (1)CourseAllMain Course (1)Side Dish (1)Snack or Street Food (3)Soup (2)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Fish or Shellfish (2)Contains Meat or Poultry (7)Vegetarian (1)Origin RegionAllFrance (1)Ghana (2)Greece (1)Hungary (1)India (3)Indonesia (2)Iran (1)Jamaica (1)Kashmir (2)Lebanon (1)Pakistan (1)Saudi Arabia (1)Somalia (1)The Indian Subcontinent (1)United Kingdom (1)Yemen (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 19Apple dumplingSpiceBalilaSpiceBannu PulaoSpiceBouillabaisseSpiceFried plantainSpiceGoshtaabSpiceKabsaSpiceKeleweleSpiceLawarSpiceMaraqSpiceOtak-otakSpiceSamosaSpiceSosis BandariSpiceSouvlakiSpiceStew PeasSpiceSzékelykáposztaSpiceTabak MaazSpiceTheplaSpiceVada PavSpiceConnectionsUsed ByApple dumpling, Dishes Well-attested Source Apple dumpling (Wikipedia)tier 3Balila, Dishes Well-attested Source Balila (dish) (Wikipedia)Bannu Pulao, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikidata: Bannu PulaoBouillabaisse, Dishes Well-attested Source Bouillabaisse (Wikipedia)tier 3Fried plantain, Dishes Well-attested Source Fried plantain (Wikipedia)Goshtaab, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikidata: GoshtaabKabsa, Dishes Well-attested Source Kabsa (Wikipedia)Kelewele, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikidata: KeleweleLawar, Dishes Well-attested Source Lawar (food) (Wikipedia)Maraq, Dishes Well-attested Source Maraq (dish) - WikipediaOtak-otak, Dishes Well-attested Source Otak-otak (Wikipedia)Samosa, Dishes Well-attested Source Samosa (Wikidata)Sosis Bandari, Dishes Well-attested Source Sosis Bandari (Wikipedia)Souvlaki, Dishes Well-attested Source Souvlaki (Wikipedia)tier 3Stew Peas, Dishes Well-attested Source Stew peas (Wikipedia)Székelykáposzta, Dishes Well-attested Source Székelykáposzta (Wikipedia)Tabak Maaz, Dishes Well-attested Source Wikipedia: Tabak maazThepla, Dishes Well-attested Source Thepla (Wikipedia)Vada Pav, Dishes Well-attested Source Vada pav, WikipediaSourcesSpice (Wikipedia)IntroductionQuote, IntroductionIn the culinary arts, a spice is a seed, fruit, root, bark, or other plant substance primarily used for flavouring or colouring food.
