I'm a big herbs and spices guy. Also salts. Do these fall under seasonings, or are we only talking about packaged spice and salt mixes ITT?
Technically salt is a mineral. Herbs and spices come from plants. Herbs from the leafy parts and spices usually from seeds, roots, etc. For example cilantro is an herb from the leafy part of the the plant, while a spice, coriander, comes from the seed of the same plant. This thread is about seasonings, which yes, are many times pre-packaged but you could obviously make your own seasonings using a combination of herbs, spices, salts and even sugars.
The topic of this thread is "Seasonings". All posts should refer to a combination of herbs, spices, salts, sugars, etc. If you wish to discuss a single mineral or spice, please consider starting your own thread.
