Spices refer to the food additives that are primarily used for flavoring, coloring, or preserving food items. They are usually manufactured by processing a wide range of aromatic seeds, dried fruits or vegetables, roots, barks, etc. Spices offer exquisite aroma, texture, and taste to food without adding any extra fat or calories. India currently represents one of the largest producers of spices in the world. Some of the common spices that are widely available in the country, include chili, turmeric, coriander, tamarind, cumin, mustard, fenugreek, etc.
