4-syllable Spices that contain I

List of 4-syllable Spices that contain I

1

Horseradish

Armoracia rusticana

A gnarled white root that releases nostril-stinging heat the moment it is grated — the spicy backbone of cocktail sauce, Passover seder, and Bloody Marys.

2

Kaffir Lime Leaf

Citrus hystrix

The double-lobed, intensely citrus-perfumed leaves of a Southeast Asian lime — slivered into soups, curries, and stir-fries from Bangkok to Phnom Penh.

3

Nigella Seed

Nigella sativa

Tiny matte-black seeds (also called kalonji or black caraway) with an onion-oregano savor — dusted on naan, pickles, and Bengali fish.

4

Pink Peppercorn

Schinus molle

Not a true pepper at all but the rosy berry of a Peruvian shrub — fragrant, sweet, and increasingly popular in modern cuisine.

5

Smoked Paprika

Capsicum annuum

Spanish pimentón dried over oak smoke for weeks — the campfire-deep red powder behind chorizo, paella, and patatas bravas.

6

Sweet Paprika

Capsicum annuum

Ground sweet bell-pepper-style chiles with rich color and little heat — the supermarket staple sprinkled over deviled eggs and goulash worldwide.
