Allspice (Pimento)
Allspice or Pimento (Pimenta dioica) is the only spice indigenous to the New World. It is the dried, unripe berry from an evergreen tree native to Central America, the West Indies and Mexico.

Juniper Berries
Juniper berries (Juniperus communis) are picked from an evergreen shrub. This shrub or small tree is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The blue-black seed cones, commonly known as "juniper berries", are relatively new to U.S. cooking, but have long been a staple of European dishes. The astringent flavor of the dried juniper marries well with seasonings, sauces and stuffing for meat, game and pork. It is often used in sausages and pâtés, and in sauerkraut. The berries should be crushed to bring out the flavor. Juniper also flavors gin as well as other spirits such as schnapps. In fact, the word "gin" is derived from the French word for juniper berry, "genièvre." The Slovak national alcoholic beverage "borovicka" is flavoured with juniper berry extract. In Finland, juniper is used as a key ingredient in making "sahti", a traditional Finnish ale.

Mace
Mace (Myristicia fragans) is the lacy, bright red growth that surrounds the nutmeg seed. The nutmeg tree is rather unique in that it produces two distinct spices - mace and nutmeg. An evergreen tree, nutmeg is indigenous to the Moluccas, the fabled "Spice Islands". Mace was widely used from the Middle Ages until this century. Sadly, due to its cost and similarity to nutmeg, its popularity has declined. The flavor of mace is milder and more subtle than nutmeg. Consumers should be aware that nutmeg is sometimes mixed with the more expensive mace to reduce its cost....

Mustard Seed - Various
Silver Cloud offers three different types of mustard seed. White or yellow mustard (Brassica hirta), brown (Brassia juncea) and black (Brassia nigra). All our mustards, brown, yellow, and black are grown in either North Dakota or the Province of Alberta in Canada. Each variety of mustard seed produces a significantly different flavor. The yellow seeds have a fresh, clean aroma and a pungent, biting flavor. The brown seeds are closer to an Oriental mustard, hot with horseradish undertones and aroma. Brown mustard is becoming very popular in the U.S. where restaurants are using it in wide variety of European and American dishes. The black mustard seed is remarkable for both its bite and pungeunt aroma. Black mustard seed, the most pungeunt of the three, is difficult to harvest commercially and the brown seed has largely replaced it. The amount of volatile oil in mustard seed determines the intensity of flavor. Use mustard to add zest to a wide variety of dishes including meats, potato salad, vegetables and sauces. ...

Nutmeg
Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is one of the most important spices and is widely used in both sweet and savory applications. Processed meats (bologna, frankfurters, salami, liverwurst), many baked goods and even cola beverages would not be the same without the flavor of nutmeg. Native to the Banda Islands, which are part of present day Indonesia, these islands were continuously fought over for about 100 years by the Portugese, Dutch and English. Nutmegs were so valuable, the Dutch finally traded most of their possesions in North America including New Amsterdam (present day New York) to gain control of these islands and the nutmeg trade. Today, nutmeg is grown not only in the Banda islands, but much of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Grenada in the West Indies. ...

Rosemary
Rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis) is a small evergreen shrub, which is indigenous to most of the countries surrounding the Meditteranean. Much of what is consumed grows wild and is still gathered and harvested by hand. Rosemary is probably my favorite herb. It is one of the most fragrant and pleasing of all the spices and if used sparingly enhances the flavor of most food. I like adding rosemary to vegetables particularly peas, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, egplant, squash and spinach. It is wonderful with chicken, lamb, eggs, almost any sauce, soup or chowder. When marjoram or oregano is called for in a recipe, I often replace these herbs with rosemary. As an example, I use ground rosemary, in lieu of oregano, in tomato sauce for pasta. The flavor is wonderful and the sauce does not taste like pizza sauce. ...

Saffron Threads
Saffron (Crocus sativus) has the distinction of being the most expensive spice. It is the bright orange-red stigma from a small, fall-blooming purple crocus that is cultivated in Spain, Greece, India and Iran. Each flower contains three stigmas, which are approximately one inch in length. The harvesting, drying and packaging of saffron is done entirely by hand and total annual production is less than 200 metric tons. Saffron has been used as a flavoring, a natural dye, and a perfume ingredient for thousands of years. Due to its intense color, it was most likely first used as a dye. Its honey-like aroma was loved by the Greeks and Romans who also used it as an ingredient in perfume. Today, saffron is primarily a flavor. Luckily, just a few strands of this expensive culinary jewel are sufficient to season several servings of paella, rice and stew. ...

Sage Dalmatian
Sage Dalmatian (Salvia officinalis) is indigenous to the northeastern shore of the Meditteranean, primarily Albania, Greece and the countries that once made up Yugoslavia. The word sage means "wise" in French. Its use in English most likely originated from the fact that sage tea was very popular and consumed for most ailments. It was also believed that drinking it made one prudent. Sage works beautifully with poultry, stuffing and pork (especially sausage). Try also adding it to cheese sauces, lamb, and veal. The Italian dish "Saltimboca" is made by layering and baking veal with sage and Assiago cheese. ...

Sesame Seed - Various
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is one of the oldest spices and oil seed crops. A 4000 year old drawing on an Egyptian tomb shows a baker adding sesame to his dough. Delicately flavored, it can be used in more or less unmeasured amounts in any dish you use chopped nutmeats. The precise origin of sesame is not known. Many wild species grow in sub-Sahara Africa, India and the Sunda Islands of Indonesia. A valuable oil seed and food crop, sesame was introduced into China, Egypt and Japan and subsequently brought to other warm countries. Sesame was first brought by slaves to North America and the Caribbean. Called Benne Seeds, the name is still used in some parts of the South. ...

Sumac
Sumac (Rhus coriaria) is one of approximately 250 species of flowering plants in the genus Rhus. This bushy-shrub grows wild in many temperate and sub-tropical climates and the edible red berries have a distinctive sour, lemon-like flavor. Prior to lemons reaching Europe, the Romans ground dried sumac berries and used them in a similar manner we use lemon juice today. The berries can also be macerated in hot water and mashed to release their juice, the resulting liquid being used like lemon juice. In North America, the Indians used the berries from the Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra) and Stag Horn Sumac (Rhus typhina), to make a beverage, termed "Sumacade", "Indian lemonade" or "Rhus juice." Sumac is widely used in the Middle East. The Lebanese and Syrians sprinkle it on fish; the Iraqis and Turks add it to salads; and the Iranians and Georgians season kebabs with it. ...
