If You Could Only Cook With One Spice For The Rest Of Your Cooking Days What Spice Would You Choose To Cook With?

Quick one - Salt isn't a spice, it's a mineral.
Herbs are generally leaves, and can be used fresh off the plant, so you still get the usual suspects - oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, dill etc
So we can see that we have a lot of flavour options already.


Spices are grown and extracted from plants and requires processing of some kind, often drying, but can end up being roasted, or ground



So to pick only one spice? Probably Cumin, because with that I get the option of ground or seed, so it's more adaptable.

Tumeric because curry dishes are yummm and it’s an anti inflammatory.. and I can paint my body with it if I decide to get crafty

Saffron, i can make drinks, sweets and a meal using saffron, example

Saffron milkshake , saffron milkcake and saffron rice sweet porridge

Black pepper goes well with almost anything. Of course Id still be using salt because technically that's not a spice but a mineral.

Salt, obviously. Unless you don't count that as a spice. In which case it'd be curry because with curry you'd still get a huge variety of flavors.

How would you make curry without spices?

[Mark83]

I was trying to pass off curry as a spice but I guess that's cheating lol :)

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Well you can always order what you can't cook 😂👍

Probably pepper since it goes with most things and salt is not really a spice so I can’t choose that unfortunately
