Black Pepper
Piper nigrum
The king of spices, best ground fresh at the table — and a quiet booster of how much of some nutrients and drugs your body absorbs.
Zum Guide →
Cardamom
Elettaria cardamomum
Little green pods of sweet, eucalyptus-bright perfume — the soul of chai, Arabic coffee and Scandinavian buns.
Zum Guide →
Cayenne
Capsicum annuum

Zum Guide →
Cinnamon
Cinnamomum verum
The bark that launched trade empires — with a genuine but modest effect on blood sugar, and one important safety catch.
Zum Guide →

Fiercely aromatic dried flower buds that warm mulled wine and gingerbread — and numb an aching tooth in a pinch.
Zum Guide →

One plant, two kitchens: bright citrusy leaves that some people swear taste of soap, and warm seeds that soothe a bloated belly.
Zum Guide →
Cumin
Cuminum cyminum
The warm, earthy seed behind curries, chilli and falafel — best bloomed in hot oil until it crackles and smells toasty.
Zum Guide →
Fennel
Foeniculum vulgare
Crisp aniseed bulb, feathery fronds and sweet digestive seeds — one plant that covers salad, spice rack and after-dinner tea.
Zum Guide →
Fenugreek
Trigonella foenum-graecum
The maple-scented seed of curry blends — studied for blood sugar, cholesterol and milk supply, and famous for making you smell faintly of syrup.

Zum Guide →

Zum Guide →
Nutmeg
Myristica fragrans
The warm, sweet spice that once caused wars — lovely by the pinch, genuinely poisonous by the spoonful.
Zum Guide →
Oregano
Origanum vulgare
The sun-baked Mediterranean herb that tastes better dried than fresh — and whose concentrated oil is a very different thing.
Zum Guide →
Parsley
Petroselinum crispum
Far more than a garnish — eat parsley by the handful and it becomes a fresh, green, vitamin-rich salad herb.
Zum Guide →
Rosemary
Salvia rosmarinus
The Mediterranean shrub scholars have worn for memory since ancient Greece — and modern studies keep finding they were onto something.
Zum Guide →
Saffron
Crocus sativus
The world's costliest spice — hand-picked crimson threads with a surprisingly respectable body of research on low mood.
Zum Guide →
Sage
Salvia officinalis
Velvety grey-green leaves with a bold, piney flavour — a classic sore-throat gargle, and a herb to respect in concentrated form.
Zum Guide →
Thyme
Thymus vulgaris
A tough little woody herb that flavours slow-cooked food beautifully and has soothed coughs across Europe for centuries.
