List of 2-syllable Spices that contain L

1

Allspice

Pimenta dioica

The dried unripe berry of a Caribbean evergreen — tasting uncannily like a blend of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg in a single hard pellet.

2

Bay Leaf

Laurus nobilis

A glossy laurel leaf with a quiet menthol-eucalyptus depth — slipped into stews, sauces, and braises across nearly every Western cuisine.

3

Dill Seed

Anethum graveolens

Flat oval seeds with a sharp, caraway-adjacent bite — the classic pickling spice and a workhorse of Northern European cooking.

4

Mahleb

Prunus mahaleb

The ground inner kernel of a wild Mediterranean cherry stone — a marzipan-meets-cherry-pit flavor that perfumes Greek, Turkish, and Lebanese sweet breads.

5

Tulsi

Ocimum tenuiflorum

Holy basil — a sacred Hindu herb with a peppery, clove-like aroma used as much in temple offerings as in healing teas and Thai stir-fries.
