Differences between Spices and Herbs

For the most part, chefs use the terms "spices and herbs" interchangeably, but there are differences. Spices that originate in tropical or sub-tropical climates and are fragrant or aromatic parts of plants include cinnamon, cloves, ginger, or pepper. Herbs are derived from green leaves and often grow in temperate climates. Common herbs are mint, rosemary, and thyme.

The American Spice Company sells herbs made from both fresh and dried leaves, while many of our spices curate from seeds, bark, fruit, flowers, and roots. Use herbs in cooking, aromatherapy, medicines, and cosmetics. Step into our Great American Spice store and the first comment you’ll make is, "Wow. I’m in spice heaven!"

List of Spices and Herbs

So, what are some of the most common spices and herbs and their uses? We’ve created the below list as a guide:

Herbs

Oregano – Sprinkle it over pizza and spaghetti.

Basil – This is the crucial ingredient in pesto sauce.

Thyme – There’s never enough time to use thyme.
