Why Spices Were Once More Valuable Than Gold: A Culinary History

Welcome back! Today, we are exploring the fascinating world of spices. Based on my university lecture notes, we will define what exactly makes a "spice" different from a "herb" and uncover the incredible history behind the ingredients in your kitchen cabinet. From the ancient Spice Route to the Aztec origins of vanilla and chili peppers, get ready to learn the science and history of flavor.
In this video, we cover:
• The scientific definition of Spices vs. Herbs (and why it matters in English).
• Classification of spices: Roots, seeds, fruits, and bark.
• The historical journey: How spices shaped the trade routes of the world.
• Spices in Ancient Cultures: India, Egypt, Rome, and the Americas.
• Phytochemicals: Why spices are more than just flavor.
