Vedas and have also been seen mentioned in the ancient Egyptian
papyruses and the Old Testament. It was the Romans that actually
discovered their culinary possibilities. Besides their intrinsic
qualities of healing and preservation, spices have always been
believed to have magical qualities.

cast spells? The word spice comes
from the Old French word espice and the Latin root which
means "a commodity of value and distinction".

or precious stones, and the trade of spices has been an
extraordinarily influential factor in shaping the history of the
world.

Tips
for Storing and Using Spices and Herbs
Store
spices in a cool, dark place. Humidity, light and heat will cause
herbs and spices to lose their flavor more quickly. Although the
most convenient place for your spice rack may be above your stove,
moving your spices to a different location may keep them fresh
longer. As a general
rule, herbs and ground spices will retain their best flavors for a
year. Whole spices may last for 3 to 5 years. Proper storage should
result in longer freshness times. Click here for
