Spices

The history of the spice

Some of the oldest known spices include pepper, anise, turmeric, cloves, and ginger. In the Middle Ages, the spice trade flourished in Europe, with spices being traded across borders. At that time, spices were among the most valuable commodities in the world, reflected in their high prices. Today, the most commonly purchased spices in Denmark are ground cinnamon, whole black pepper, ground black pepper, curry, ground cardamom, thyme, ground ginger, and rosemary.

Add flavor to your food with all kinds of spices

Taste plays an essential role in our daily lives. Most people eat not just to satisfy hunger, but to truly enjoy their meals. To awaken our taste buds, food needs flavor – and spices provide just that. From strong and mild to sweet, salty, and bitter, spices cover the full spectrum of taste.

Beyond flavor, spices also offer wonderful aromas. They engage both your sense of taste and your sense of smell, making every dish more enjoyable.

No matter which world cuisine you are exploring, spices are always a good idea in the kitchen.

Store your spices properly

To keep the flavor intact, spices must be stored properly. Place them in airtight containers or tightly closed bags after use to preserve their intensity. Many people keep spices above the stove, but heat and humidity can reduce their flavor. For best results, store your spices in a cupboard away from light, heat, and moisture.
