3-syllable Spices that contain T

List of 3-syllable Spices that contain T

1

Annatto

Bixa orellana

The deep red-orange seed of a tropical shrub — used as much for color as flavor in Latin American, Filipino, and Caribbean cooking.

2

Chipotle

Capsicum annuum

A jalapeño pepper smoke-dried for hours over mesquite — bringing leathery sweetness and a campfire bass note to Mexican adobos and rubs.

3

Rose Petal

Rosa damascena

Dried petals of damask roses — used in Persian rice, Indian gulkand, Middle Eastern desserts, and the spice blend ras el hanout.

4

Star Anise

Illicium verum

The dramatic eight-pointed seed pod of a Chinese evergreen — sweeter and more potent than anise, and the defining note of pho and five-spice.

5

Tamarind

Tamarindus indica

The sticky, dark, sweet-sour pulp inside a tropical legume's pod — central to Pad Thai, sambar, Worcestershire sauce, and Mexican tamarindo candy.

6

Turmeric

Curcuma longa

A neon-gold rhizome from the ginger family — the color of Indian curry, the muscle of Buddhist monks' robes, and a growing star of wellness culture.

7

White Pepper

Piper nigrum

Fully ripe peppercorns with the dark husk removed — softer, earthier, and prized in pale sauces where black flecks would distract.
