Spices

Spices and herbs are defined as plant derived substances that add flavor to any dish. It is difficult to distinguish between the two. Spices can come from the following plant parts: roots, rhizomes, stems, leaves, bark, flowers, fruits, and seeds. Herbs are typically thought of as non-woody plants.

Ginger

Ginger, a versatile plant, is widely used in global cuisines, especially in Asian and Indian cooking, for its pungent flavor and aroma. Apart from culinary purposes, ginger is valued in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits, attributed to compounds like gingerol. It's used to alleviate nausea, indigestion, and muscle pain. Ginger is consumed fresh, dried, powdered, or as a juice or oil, and it's found in various dishes and beverages, ranging from stir-fries and curries to teas and remedies, making it prized for both its flavor and medicinal properties.

As one of the largest producers and exporters globally, India's southern states, including Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, are key regions for its growth. Indian black pepper is renowned for its bold flavor and aromatic essence, making it a highly sought-after ingredient in cuisines worldwide.
