Which spice do you find most useful in your kitchen?
I have wondered what people did without capsicum annuum too. There's long pepper (piper longum), black pepper (piper nigrum), horseradish, mustard, and wasabi that I can think of. I don't include Sichuan pepper because, it's not hot. Enough raw garlic at once is hot.Isn't this basically the same question as the one asking which spice could we not imagine having in our kitchen, just worded a little differently?
Once again, the same answer - Capsicum annuum. Just a single species of pepper, but includes countless varieties of hot, and sweet peppers. What did the rest of the world do, before the discovery of the new world, where peppers (as well as many other foods) come from? So many cuisines are based on these foods now.
That list, minus the Chinese five spice powder is practically a recipe for five spice powder.Here are some common cooking spices you can find in many kitchens
- Allspice.
- Anise.
- Cardamom.
- Chinese five spice.
- Cinnamon.
