Spices and herbs

Spices and spices faithfully serve humanity for more than one millennium.
Spices were considered a treasure and were worth their weight in gold. This is not surprising, because spices and herbs were a medicine, an important component in the cooking process, and were endowed with miraculous and divine properties.
Several centuries ago, only very wealthy people could afford spices, especially those brought from exotic countries. Today we have a huge advantage over people who lived centuries ago. After all, everyone can afford to buy any, the most exotic spice and use it in their kitchen at their discretion.
